-What benefit do I get in coverting the XML into an object graph? If the availability list requires filtering, and the rules for filtering the availability list change or grow over time, an object graph would be useful. Items within the avail list may have properties that are sent to and evalutated by other systems. Avail list info may need to be appended. XSLT has the capacity to perform program logic. With a 100% xml/xslt pipeline, logic creeps into the XSLT and they become difficult to change over time. It all depends on how happy the developers are in editing and modifying style sheets as opposed to java code. The other option is to filter before transforming into XML. Taylor
