Put the "object class" in a separate JAR, and use that JAR on both your client and your server. > Maybe I shouldn't be sending objects in the first place? I would recommend you choose a platform-and-language-neutral, easier-to-debug, easier-to-version on-wire encoding, such as JSON or XML. Or, if you insist that it has to be binary, choose Apache Thrift or Protocol Buffers. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Training...At Your Office: http://commonsware.com/training -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
