I agree. Your note seemed to be saying the opposite, and I was trying to be polite about asserting that static at least wasn't _harder_ to use. <smile/> >Anyway being able to call the getVersion() method in the same way >for Xalan and Xerces would be nice (more standardized approach). Agreed again. I posted another note a few minutes ago suggesting how to get there: Create the static API, set the instance API to retrieve from the static info, deprecate the instance API and phase it out at some future date. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
