Actually, yes it does, since the runtime is 1.3.1. The problem is with
the compilation of my context tool objects in a 1.1.8 environment. Until I
had
to take in method arguments via the "[...]" template form all was okay.

All my objects collection objects have an enumeration interface. I
know there are limitations with that, but I can live with it for the
present, until all our products are re-deployed in a 1.3.1 development
environment.
My current solution is some code it developed/compiled in a 1.1.8
environment, and this one class that requires ArrayList is excluded
and built by hand with a 1.3.1 compiler. This sucks since all our
software building and test is automated and managed by another group.
Hence the idea that lead to a request of a Vector collection
implementation for some "{ ... }" or "%[ ... ]" template construct.
Thanks
