You cannot factor out everything - that does not work. What would work is making the base log class agnostic to any api by defining your own, and make a base plugin class that implements it for xmlwriter or dom. > So to summarize thank you for the good points.

Lastly what do you > think of factoring out XML library calls? +1 :) -- Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Weiske -= Geeking around in the name of science since 1982 =-
