OK, this is starting to sound like a more reasonable attack. I'm still not 100% sure I understand how this approach will help, but I could just be misunderstanding what you're getting at. In my opinion, the class that understands (eg) Handles shouldn't be in charge of deciding where it attaches itself to objects. Or do you mean implementations of the ExternalIdentifierManager? cheers, Jim -- James Rutherford | Hewlett-Packard Limited registered Office: Research Engineer | Cain Road, HP Labs | Bracknell, Bristol, UK | Berks +44 117 312 7066 | RG12 1HN.
