[jdev] Serialization in JSO--Using JAVA

[Merwin Pinto]

Hi All,
       Is it possible to serialize objects and send them accross using Presence  or Message packets?
the methods like setShow(),setStatus().... etc take only Strings as Arguments .... Is there a method to send Objects....?
  Can i subclass the presence packet and write a method to accept a object ?..
But the question is will it be sent accross thru the network to another client?

PLEASE HELP .....
Thanks a lot ,
regards 
Merwin
