You mean, something like this:
Map<String, String> myFields = new HashMap<String, String>();
myFields.put("form_field_1", "some value");
myFields.put("form_field_2", "some other value");
...
Yep, that would work great. I'm still a little fuzzy on how I'd loop
through the fields on the other end, though (please be kind - this is
the first Java I've worked on in years :) )
