Leon, I meant to ask, what does the AW prefix on messages signify? I've seen it plenty of times but never really thought to ask until now.
Oh yeah... IDE button-clickers... I HATE THEE! I have no problem with a person that uses convenience tools so long as they can do without them. I have no problem with using a tool to generate getters and setters for a bean class, but if you can't do it by hand then you have no business coding. I actually know people that have no business coding, sorry as that is. -- Frank W.
