+1 on your comment ( and a preemptive -1 on changing any public method that uses Hashtables to use Maps - "just because we can" :-). Using Maps in new code or tasks should be fine. Refactoring some of the introspection code - like support for context class loader or jdk1.2 methods - is worth it ( IMO ), as it'll make the code easier to understand. Costin
