Wrong. Value Objects are a "snapshot" of the entity bean in the moment they're requested. Further entities to the bean or other VO's won't update the existing VO's. The programmer needs to request the VO again (bean.getNormalValue() or getLightValue(), using your example). ValueObjects are intended to be a light, value-only (no references) view of the entity bean on the client side. A Value Object makes no references or calls to the entity bean. I'm sure the current VO implementation has many bugs and deficiencies. But this is not one of them. -- Ja ne, Pazu mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Anime Gaiden: de f�s para f�s, sempre.
