Hmm. I get all twitchy when people write code to manipulate the persistent representations of objects rather than manipulating the objects themselves. It violates the black box principle. Granted, it can be quicker to code, but pretty soon you run up against maintenance problems due to loss of encapsulation, and containerisation in Avalon's case. The persistent representation is no longer free to evolve, or if it does, each change triggers a need for change in any number of applications relying on the previous persistent representation. Still, while we are waiting on JMX enablement, a web-app to manage James mail repositories would be sweet. -- Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
