What about, "don't store model objects[1] in session (or anyplace else that may be serialized)?" If you're passing data around, use a DTO. Whether to use DTOs is something of a religious issue; but pure data-holders rarely need internal logging. If client code wants to log a value they fetch out of a DTO, let them have at it... -QM [1] = This statement assumes any "model object" that requires internal logging is much more than a pure data-holder. -- software -- http://www.brandxdev.net tech news -- http://www.RoarNetworX.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
