Hello, I am currently keeping a list of objects sorted in a particular object. I am wondering if anyone has an opinion about whether I should keep just the 'id' in this list or if it is ok to actually keep a reference to the object in the list. When I use the list at a later point in time I will need to access several attributes of the object. If I keep the 'id' I would have to find the object for each entry in the list. Thanks in advance for any opinions.

depending on your application you could just do it the way zcatalog does it and store the url and resolve the url to an object when you want to access attributes. kapil
