That basic need doesn't change. So a base controller class would facilitate a lot of that for you. You would simply need to define your command and update the config file the controller uses for application flow. The command object in a similar abstract way. Instead of spelling all this out please look at the links to the docs I already posted. Again, look at the MVC in struts (which I also posted). So as not to just spin our wheels....maybe I can work up an example package with a very simple app that demonstrates this. Again, I'd encourage anybody following this thread to look into some code for Phrame and, if that doesn't help, struts. -- Tony Bibbs "I guess you have to remember that those who don't tony@tonybibbs.com hunt or fish often see those of us who do as harmlessly strange and sort of amusing.
