Hi Wayne, I've been here before. I implemented custom encoder/decoder routines which dealt with MiddleKit objects by saving the object id in the pickle, and reloaded them from the store when decoding. It's transparent, and works fairly well. I've had some unexplained tracebacks, though, and I have suspicions that something is interacting poorly with this code (I don't yet know how or why). I can send you the code, though, if you want to take a look. cheers, -- Jason D. Hildebrand [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Jason D.
