It was not updated, it was designed ( by me ) to be used with data objects. Value objects constitute a problem - there could be more than one. So facade generation has to decide which one to use. So there is a big question - how do you like this problem to be solved? - one facade per value object ( do not like this idea, ejb suffers from too many classes ) - shitload of methods in single facade determining what value object to use - generate functors ( maybe as inner classes of the facade ) to strip specific value objects off collection and pass them for every invocation (would work nice for collections, because result is untyped, but what shall be done with single object finders? ) I never developed support for value objects, because they major advantage was CMR support, but personally I find that CMR is really confusing - that's why I moved to use hibernate instead of Entity beans... ( IMHO it has a lot of advantages over Entity beans... ) regards, ===== ----[ Konstantin Pribluda ( ko5tik ) ]---------------- Zu Verstärkung meines Teams suche ich ab Sofort einen Softwareentwickler[In] für die Festanstellung.
