This is a very interesting idea. Personally I'd go for expanding the external API to include Java. JDBC would be an advantage considering there's a JDBC dirver for almost every DB but think of the possibilities that RMI would bring. We could all get fat writing Rev clients to J2EE systems ;-) Cheers Monte _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
