I had the same problem and I had solved it by using a Properties Objekt instead a Hashtable. The Properties-Objekt has Methods for writing all in a File or something like this and I write all in a String and than I use simple String as parameter or result-value instead of Hashtable. Itīs not a really good way but it works find and you donīt need a lot of time for implementation. The nices way should be to write serializers/deserializers for your client. Hope that helps you Oliver
