I'm looking at that now. The example in the book was just quicker to
implement.

A D2JC application has Document, Edit, Tools and Window menus and I would
like to have them all available. It makes life a bit tedious for the user
without the Document menu in that they have to keep the original query
window open all the time. It is the Document menu that provides the New...,
Open... and Search... actions.

That's the question, I don't know why. When I start the application without
the login screen, just a normal D2J application everything was fine with all
three models. Two of the models use FrontBase and the third accesses an
AS400 running OS400 5.1. I turned on debugging and when the application
tried to access the AS400 it had the correct URL but tried to load the
FrontBase driver. I added the Class.forname() calls in the Application
method and all was well. I presumed something wasn't being initialized with
respect to the eomodel files.

Yes there is but it strikes me as odd that the standard menus don't show up.
There is also a chapter on restricting access where they describe how to
override the actions in the Document menu but I no longer have one to worry
about.
