good catch, fixed.

that helped.  lots more work in that scene, but may not be needed as NURBS nodes are implemented more widely.

excellent diagnoses.  have added getFieldType and getAccessType for all inputOnly and outputOnly fields, including addChildren and removeChildren.

also took care of some missing internal setParent calls.

still some hiccups with nested prototypes DISEntityPrototypes - will save for another day when fuller testing possible.  otherwise all working (or at least responding) satisfactorily.

yes, must have been leftover from an old version.  original .x3d scene upgraded to native node <OrientationChaser DEF='DmpODoor' duration='1.3'/> and the java works now.

all the best, Don
