Hi Jim,

I had a quick look at the SA4J website. It seems to be a quite interesting 
tool but I am not sure of how it relates to the model integration features 
we aim at providing in MDDi.

Do you have any suggestion on how we could use MDDi and SA4J together? 
Please let us know.

Thanks,

Sébastien
