Yes, java APIs are designed to handle very complex, worst case scenarios. It's the simple stuff the APIs fail at. And there really isn't any excuse for this. Why does everyone have their own StringUtil/FileUtil/XMLUtil classes? Why does apache commons exist? Because many simple tasks require a ton of code with the standard APIs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
