Jacques,
did you look into serialization? That would do what you want. Even more. Be
careful with where you want to use it, no matter which method, as most of it
will only work with an application, unsigned applets are not allowed to write
data to a disk, even on the server where they come from. Personally, I would
favour the string method, as it is very easy to handle, using StringTokenizer()
.
