There would not be true inheritance though, this would be a reference to the extended map. Take a look the Tiles implementation, this would be a good starting point. I believe this implementation makes a copy of the map attributes as you suggest. This can result in increased memory usage. One approaches you might consider is to use a new Map but reference the same underlying objects, ie don't copy them. This would reduce memory consumption. Does anyone dynamically change the validation parameters ? I have always considered the field validations as fixed at load time. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
