  hehe, but why? i'm not trying to be rude, just trying to understand your reasoning that arrays are better in a business logic layer. personally i use ILists, which are lightweight lists.

  well the real reason is that I started with the ms petshop example as a base framework for my app and that's the way it's done in that example. and it just seems more logical for some reason, that is to say, this: public Reports[] getAllReports() seems better as a method signature than does public ArrayList getAllReports() i'm not a oo expert by any means so i can't tell you the reason as such, can only say that it seems there is some benefit in returning typed arrays from your business layer. could be wrong...
