Well, we could leave the interface, but make it optional, then. We could either: A) make it a requirement that the method return a String result code, since we already need to require that the method is zero-arg B) If it returns a string, use that as the result code, otherwise, if it returns boolean or Boolean, then if it returns true translate that to SUCCESS, if it returns false, translate that to ERROR, and otherwise if it doesn't throw an error, translate that to SUCCESS or if it catches an exception, return ERROR. I would go with B, myself. Jason ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc. Develop an edge.
