No, java programmers which KNOW all the possible values they ever gonna use for a method call, simply REPLACE this method call with a constant. In case they don't know, the compile time class generation from your example doesn't work either. They are saying: In the time java developers picks the gun, the php developer runs away with the prey. And the c developer seems to be thinking about best fitting boots. regards Leon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
