;-) Thinking a bit more about it, using Turbine/Torque or Castor or EJBDoclet or JDO or whatever it should be a pretty quick job to make the 'simple beans'. Then sharing the same set of simple beans we could experiment with plugging in the various display/templating/framework technologies, Turbine, Velocity, JSP/tags, struts, XMLC, Cocoon/XSLT etc. James _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
