Hmm. Initially I thought the same, but since OJB has his own factory, I create a block to have just 1 factory instead of create a new factory on every request from the user. This way we save time. > 2.) I am working on the first part, which is basically a user list that > I use with the authentication framework. This part would a good idea to > give back as sample. If I do that, do I need to make it a block now? Good! I am newbie in this area too. I am trying to do other examples. Your help is very welcome! > Now before you guys answer.....
