Hi,

I'm really floundering with Expresso at present. I've only been using 
the framework and struts for about 3 weeks now and just can't get up to 
speed quickly. Every time I try to do something, the documentation is so 
scarce and tricky to find it takes days to complete something that 
should take an hour or two at most.

So far I have the following Expresso bits working:
- My whole database is set up as DBObjects and I can search, sort, etc 
on my objects
- I have some basic JSP's using expresso-struts tags working.
- I can use DBMaint on all my tables.
- Login and Registration. I have my own registration objects defined and 
functioning. I've extended all the standard login and registration 
objects.
- I have struts tiles set up and have seperate controllers behind each 
tile (really neat that tiles stuff).
- I have a job object defined and it does a day end on my database 
correctly. I have a problem add()'ing the job to my Schema but that is a 
different story.

Now that I'm getting away from the standard DBMaint kinda programming 
the wheels are falling off.

Right now I'm trying to get workflow up and running. I'm trying the 
wizard style addStatePairing() flavor. I suspect there are other flavors 
of this as well???
