Mark, Thanks for your lightning fast response.
I've been living over in GWT land for the last year or so, so I guess I've gotten spoiled. GWT's whole "object<->internet<->object" magic has really taken me out of the transport game! I kinda got the feeling that there were no real native packages that would run the mapping/ serialization/deseriazlition for me. Do you have any experience/ recommendation with any of the available libraries that do the mapping automatically? I'm wondering if XStream, Json-lib Jackson JSON would work in a compatible and performance-acceptable manner. I know I sound like a baby and should just suck it up and write it myself, but I'm trying to integrate my system in with a number of existing POJOs and it would be VERY time consuming to have to write the transporters for each one. Thanks for your help!
