Craig, > Thank you for your offer to help.
No worries. > I have made this fix in SVN rev 590627. I'll assume that you are waiting until after Torsten finishes merging the container module to do a proper fix, but I feel that the fix you made is flawed. The problem is that the implementation is deferring everything to the toString() method, rather than throwing the exception in the mutator methods, as called for by the specification. Do you concur? > In the meantime, the 1.1-286-COMPATIBILITY branch builds a JSR-286 spec compliant > portal (prior to rev 26). See the README in that branch for more details. I've already built that (I've checked out both branches :-)), and will start playing. --- Noel
