I explained both the API in general terms and why such an API is quite unlikely to be observable publically (it's banking software, what do you think?). You call 'transferFunds' on someone's account, give it an amount and another account, and that's that. There is no return value, so encoding a problem via return value would be a fantastically silly design. This is more than enough information for you to tell that this is a rare but valid example. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
