This is a fine idea, but I think the correct approach is to make a new Manager class that uses the existing Manager class internally. That's a lot cleaner than trying to further augment the existing Manager. RDBO was always designed to have more than one Manager-type class. I just only wrote the one :) Making a "sort of" new Manager by wrapping the existing Manager is fine too. If you come up with something suitably generic and useful to others, we can hash it out on the list and then either fold it into RDBO or put it up on CPAN as a separate module. -John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
