I have a bit of a problem with these standarized api's.....Maybe it's getting better with the new jcp, but untill now Sun decided which api's are standards and which aren't, without looking at defacto standards like log4j, etc. I'm not telling j2ee is bad, but please don't let us switch without a heavy discussion ;-) Gerard
