Sounds cool. I'll have to look into that. I find this sort of approach in general to be more interesting and useful than straightforward serialization-type approaches. My approach does not attempt to be too general. However, my current model does afford some level of flexibility in terms of what view of the data model the navigator presents. > A purely reflection based Navigator would be useful as well.

I also just stumbled across a bug in Jaxen's FunctionCallException's printStackTrace functions. Basically, the two printStackTrace functions that take an argument always call the super method without the argument. For instance: public void printStackTrace( PrintStream s ) { super.printStackTrace(); if ( nestedException != null ) { s.println( "Root cause:" ); nestedException.printStackTrace( s ); } } So if you explicitly pass a particular stream to the class for the stack trace, the super class still always dumps it's stack trace to System.err. There also is an inconsistency in its two contructors that accept nested exceptions. One accepts any Throwable; the other will only accept Exceptions. I'd be willing to dive in and fix this, too, unless someone else would prefer to do it. _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
