Can we at least make sure the packages are different? I don't think the loanbroker should have a *.loanbroker.bank package. | | --Kurt Yeah, that class was sorta there twice already: one was called "BankQuoteRequest" and the other was called "BanksQuoteRequest". This seems like a mess to me also. It was causing grief when using XStream on both ends - the Bank code had a "BankQuoteRequest" class but not a "BanksQuoteRequest". Dunno how you were avoiding this issue before but either way I think they either need to chare a lib or else we can't use XStream on both ends of the wire. I'd also suggest that this is demo code, not "production" code :-) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3972838#...
