Is this a bug or intended behavior?
Intended. In cases where Webware objects provide dictionary-like access (foo['bar']), they act like Python dictionaries: a KeyError is raised if the key does not exist. And typically a get() or getFoo() method is provided which can accept a default value to return if the key does not exist. I don't see the point in making something look like a Python dictionary, but act differently. -Chuck ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: InterSystems CACHE FREE OODBMS DOWNLOAD - A multidimensional database that combines robust object and relational technologies, making it a perfect match for Java, C++,COM, XML, ODBC and JDBC. www.intersystems.com/match8 _______________________________________________ Webware-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-devel
