Fair enough :-)

Alright, no biggie, I'll just copy it manually.

Alright, that's not good, but livable. How about collections of IDREF's?

Will do.

Well, I assume your example was for beans2beans and not
beans2interfaces. Could that be the difference? I've looked in the
source, but can't figure out what the rules for invoking an IDResolver are.

No problem, I'm just a little surprised that noone has run into this
before. Since both of these issues (root object filling and interface
references) are vital to getting this to work with EJB's I assume noone
has actually used it for this before.
It sounds like what I'll have to do right now is to map the references
to duplicate reference field being simple strings, and then do
post-processing to resolve the actual reference.
