I understand that. What I'm trying to ask is where do I add event listeners so that I can stay aware of the connection? In the ConnectionAwareClient example, a conneciton and bridge are created. Maybe I'm not understanding things, but after calling Bootstrap.bootstrap() and getting my XComponentContext, can I still create an XConnection to pass to the bridge factory? Jason
