Matt: Can you expand on what you mean by "a string representation of a Resource"?

Some concrete usage examples would be handy. /Steve. -------------------------- Stephen McConnell mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dpml.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
