Thanks for the replies; as this is a simple app, I am planning to skip Flow and DB Actions altogether, and stick to using Groovy which, from what I can see, will allow one to effectively, and quite cleanly, replace XSP. The only issue (for me anyway) is the lack of documentation on some subjects, but I think this will be useful to learn.

If you *really* want to do it, you should be able to write your data access layer in JavaScript. I'm sure Groovy makes some things (overloaded methods, creating arrays, etc.) easier, but AFAIK there isn't anything that *can't* be scripted in JS. In terms of the database actions... you'd have to call into a pipeline to execute the action, right? But I assume you don't want to have to do that in a sendPage() call, i.e. you want to be able to just call the action and continue your flow. You might be able to do that with processPipelineTo(). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- This message is subject to the CSIR's copyright, terms and conditions and e-mail legal notice.
