Having though about it some more I see a typical chicken/egg problem for creating the first collection... am I right about that? Besides that if your database doesn't support sub collections retrieving the CollectionManagerService from a collection seems a bit illogical. (something more or less already mentions by Dare, but I looks like you didn't see it as a real problem) Regards, Arno ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Contact administrator: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Read archived messages: http://archive.xmldb.org/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
