Let me know if you have any specific questions or feedback. > Yes, I am familiar. Those are what I alluded to when I mentioned generating the code at build time. While I did mention that as an alternative, I am mostly interested in doing this at compile time with macros. This somewhat pushes the performance burden (if that is even measurably significant) to the user, but it also makes things easier for the user to tweak with a one-time compile cost versus an every-time runtime cost. Thanks for pointing out WSDL and SOAP, forcing to to clarify my comments. :-) -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
