Okay, that makes way more sense.

This might be a better question on a different group. You /did/ give us
a heads-up, though ;)

Perhaps you should get someone to write simpler Java wrappers around
these things, so maybe you could deal exclusively with String data, or
maybe even with byte arrays of information that is packed in an explicit
way (for instance, Java's DataOutputStream can write binary data in
network byte order, with well-defined sizes, offsets, etc.)

I'm sorry to say it (again), but I think you're just asking for trouble,
here. What do you have implemented in Java that's so useful and
difficult to port to Delphi or VM or (even better) C#?
