Hi Sebastien, Thanks for the reply. Forgive my ignorance, but would you mind posting an brief example of how I might go about casting and retrieving a byte array using that method. I've tried casting it several ways but I only managed to throw Javascript errors. I am no Java/JS expert by any means.
