All, Attached is an example of doing job template property access via introspection/reflection on the Java platform. The source code contains two different ways to access the property. On a related note, I would like to suggest that the setAttribute() and getAttribute() routines should handle the attribute values as "object" if possible or "string" if not possible. Back to C++, it would be a little unnatural to force every attribute to be a string if the implementation includes or assumes a library of common objects. Just a thought. Daniel
