Further, if you do want to use improved versions, I suspect you have to use "endorsed" mechanism. Otherwise JDK-bundled classes tend to get preference over other jars. Unless rules are different for extensions (javax.*)? (same won't apply to the API implementation itself which gets introspected correctly as JDK-included version lives under different package) -+ Tatu +- ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
