Good opportunity for plug! I presented a paper at Ada-Europe 2003 titled "Ada, interfaces, and the listener paradigm". It provides a design pattern for providing all the functionnality of Java interfaces, and can easily be extende to full MI. It is available from the proceedings (Springer), but I can send it to anybody who's interested. It is my intent to publish it on Adalog's web site as soon as I get around to it :-) -- --------------------------------------------------------- J-P.
