doesn't sound right... it should crawl up the code, although I made a change to this last week, where if you had something like: /** * @foo:bar value="abc" */ class SuperClass .... and /** * @foo:bar something_other_than_value="def" */ class SubClass extends SuperClass ... then the super's value="abc" wasn't picked up... I thought I checked this properly, but there is I suppose the possibility that I introduced a bug. Do you have a simple example of the bug? > And now for the suggestion.

XDoclet started as EJBDoclet, by Rickard Oberg, who basically put what he saw as appropriate usage patterns in as defaults. I for one think they are good defaults, but am happy to hear suggestions for ehat you would see as alternative defaults... do you mean by this that you dont use dataobjects? cheers dim _______________________________________________ Xdoclet-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/xdoclet-devel
