Hi Geoff, sorry for being silent, but we're busy getting several projects out of the Haus before it shuts down.

For the implementation: I would have used the Mapper interface also as "entry" point. However, you may not modify a method, you have to add a new one instead (resp. overload a method) to keep binary compatibility. The master branch is already for XStream 1.5.x with a minimum requirement of Java 6. However, I assume, you're interested in getting this into the 1.4.x branch (Java 1.4.x compatible). Therefore you cannot use a Java enum at all, we cannot backport it. Basically all you need is a boolean flag for the immutable types that do not support references at all. We have no intentions to support multiple modes here, it's just a compatibility helper. Thanks for your effort so far, Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email
