I wonder were the coder responsible to specify to save a document in memory to be accessed later on in the process it could it make implementing the program such as developing calabash much easier because you wouldn't be required to determine when something needs to be saved in memory for use later on because a pipe is requesting output from another step? So you could have some <p:put id="fish"> when <p:get name="fish> or <p:put-many... get-many to create or iterate on a collection. clearly that concept could be expanded upon Also there is something complex about input/results and ports that probably could be simplified. Does a developer really want to be bothered with a message that you need to specify your result differently somehow somewhere in the document... (been a while so I'm not being specific here) But really for the most part I tend to think what is coming out of the last step or what I specify to save in some location is what is specifying the result of a pipeline not some declaration at the top of the document for example.. -- Alex Muir Instructor | Program Organizer - University Technology Student Work Experience Building University of the Gambia http://sites.utg.edu.gm/alex/ Low budget software development benefiting development in the Gambia, West Africa Experience of a lifetime, come to Gambia and Join UTSWEB - http://sites.utg.edu.gm/utsweb/
