I don't think javabeans reflection is that horrible an expense, but honestly we don't have a heavy load yet. In our world, I know it cannot really matter, as the cost of the HTTPS connection, sending data, doing all the XML, etc. must be orders of magnitude greater than reflection calls to get/set methods. I use reflection in quite a bit of code, especially those that use SAX parsers and want to auto-populate java objects -- which presumably is what Apache SOAP's BeanSerializer is going as well. David
