That's a very interesting thought, one I can't say has ocurred to me before... I'm not aware of any existing code to do that, and if nothing exists I think it's ripe for being created. I wouldn't mind working on it myself!
The idea of essentially being able to serialize a Javascript object and reconstitute it as a Java object (and vice-versa) is a fascinating thought indeed. If you find anything if you wouldn't mind, please let me know directly ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) because if nothing exists, I may well get to work on such a beast! -- Frank W.
