Yes, I'm not sure of the specifics myself but from my
exploratory
rummaging in the docs it looks like FDS handles all of that mapping.
As I am using .NET on the server it looks like manual deserialization
into my objects is the way forward.
I have begun implementing my app with the factory methods you
suggested and all appears to be working well. Shame I can't get the
object mapping without using Java/FDS. Perhaps once I have got to
grips with it a bit more I might look into writing some sort of
component for the web service users amongst us, which , judging by the
volume of posts on this group regarding web services, amounts to a
fair few folk.
Cheers
