I've implemented a builder class for connecting beans together with Groovy Markup: http://www.behindthesite.com/blog/C663408438/E876434710/index.html HowardLewisShip: I'm not saying that you '''can't''' build beans using the scripting language of your choice. I'm simply saying that doing so, you may lose some of the benefits of !HiveMind. HiveDoc, for starters. Line precise error reporting, potentially. And it adds to the dependencies. I'd certainly endorse the idea of an add-on library to let you use scripting if that's your way, but I don't want to see the core of !HiveMind screwed just to support scripting, which only ''some'' people think is the One True Path. + +SteveGibson: For us, we use a lot of XML already, so being able to keep XML for me is very important. A lot of people are saying they don't want to invent a new language - SDL. Well, to me, this looks a lot like IBMs Stanza format, used in AIX forever, and also the configuration format a company I used to work for came up with - purely because you specify the object you want to create and assign the properties. I think the SDL is very readable, and would probably use it if we didn't already use lots of XML files and *gasp* properties files. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
