Use XML over http.
The benefits are:
1)it goes through firewalls.
2)it is readable so easy to debug.
3)you'll be ready if you ever
want to do a cutdown version in DHTML.
4)there are lots of good parsers
The down side is that you put more
bytes over the wire than needed,
but since you are using swing, I guess
you are on an intra net anyway.
Also XML generators are a bit thin on the ground.
