The closest analog in Java is a bean. I am not at all involved with CPRS, but my first thought would be to start looking at the basic Delphi components that are needed and rewrite them as Java beans (not a small task). Starting over (in terms of code, at least) is hardly "starting over". I don't know what the ration is between the time I spend on design work and actual coding is, but I'm sure it's very high. When I was in college, someone told me that professional developers spend about 10% of their time writing code. Now, I doubt that it's anywhere near that high. (To be fair, though, design is really my forte -- and interest. Writing code is a "necessary evil".) === Gregory Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Einstein was a giant.
