I have to chime in here and agree with the general sentiment: let the programmer do his thing. There's nothing more difficult to debug than an "intelligent" API (no offense!). I've been bitten more than once by a well meaning API designer who "assumed" what I meant to do and kindly went and did it for me. From a debugging standpoint, it can be very time-consuming; from an application standpoint, it can be devastating. Let me make my own mistakes, Richard <grin>. ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: Glenn Holmer <gholmer@weycogroup.com> Reply-To: JAVA400-L@midrange.com Date: Tue, 06 Feb 2001 07:52:35 -0600 >Richard Dettinger wrote: > > What do people think?
