I think I'm buying what you say in a big kinda way. I've been there already I think, but forcing myself to use the DynaBean route and if you've read my posts here, you know I'm frustrated. I've been coming to your conclusion, and I'd love to hear more from you offline if you don't mind. I disagree vehemently that the idea of Maps in the Domain Model is a bad design. I worked for years in an architecture that eschewed many OO concepts as creating more work than they saved. Its universe was something like this- A Database contains a map of Table Objects A Table object contains an array list of Record Objects. A Record object contains a map of Field Objects. Etc Done properly, something like this could be infinitely reusable no matter what the application. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
