Dragan --

You say:

Your custom can't be a session, but it can have a session

I understand (sort of) adding an object, based on Session, to the Custom object. This Session object has its own class.

OK, but -- for any method in bizobject which is public, won't I have to, on entry, save the calling datasession, set the datasession to match the new session, and then, on exit, reverse the process?

This would provide a few niceties not available in PRG-based classes -- opening each method in a separate class, for instance, or seeing parent code.

>Your custom can't be a session, but it can have a session. Just add a session object to your base custom bizobject, and then you can set the properties of that session any way you like. As it's an object added at the top class level, it will instantiate before any other object you add at younger levels ("younger" as in "subclassed"). Caveat: if at some level below you add anything that has MemberClass set, the base methods of the member class will execute first - check thread #1421954.
