Yes, I remember that now. I also remember never quite understanding why 0 is an invalid value. It seems to me that 0 would result in a no-op as far as recursion goes. Why is that an error? It might be dumb, but I don't think it has to be an error.

A value of 0 is invalid isn't it? -1 is unlimited, and a positive integer is a finite number of levels. That's all we can have. I think 0 used to represent infinite levels some time back but was changed to -1 see item 22 in the Changelog http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/maintenance/jsr243/243ChangeLog.html -- Andy (Java Persistent Objects - http://www.jpox.org)
