Webpointz, Actually, you didn't. If the book contained ALL of the documentation, it would be huge and much more costly to purchase.
What you perceive as a game of "clue" is simple to explain. You, who presumably are being paid for your efforts, are asking a many dedicated professionals to do YOUR work for you, for free. If all of us were to set out to do your work for you, can you imagine the amount of work that would be wasted? You are expected to do your own work and show it BEFORE asking questions about it. YOUR work involves searching all of the documentation, which you clearly have not done. I "gave" you a hint on how to find the pertinent documentation you had overlooked. YOU are the one who is expected to apply it to your own situation.

Actually...we purchased the documentation (your book) and we are appreciative of all of the work you did and still do, but frankly we aren't JAVA people and we are scripting tranlsations to coldfusion, then we ask a question and instead of helpful answers we get involved in a game of "clue". Its terribly frustrating at times and as i mentioned, we aren't piggybacking on "free" documentation..we purchased the book itself. I guess I will keep trying given that nobody seems to want to provide assistance other than clues.
