Sending @DataModel component to Applet?

[getboa]

Hi folks,
Let me explain a bit of the situation. There is a List of object in my seam component which has to be passed to an applet class where I'll be printing those objects in a dot matrix printer, but before printing them I've got to do some updates and only when these updates are finished, I call the applet page trough the property 'oncomplete'.

I was thinking on how to send this List to an Applet but so far, I couldn't find out some way of doing this.
Is there some trick? maybe creating a Servlet class, would it be possible?
What about that solution? Is that the best flow?
Thanks in advance

Stupid but might work - serialize the list and encode it in base64, then store it in a hidden field. Read the base64 sequence from the applet, decode it and deserialize the list.

why don't give flamingo a shot?

Don't reinvent wheel.

thanks for your reply Ilya.
I didn't even know about this Flamingo framework. Is that easy to use with seam? Don't have much time to learn new techs right now. Time is running out. Is there any example/sample of how it works.  I gotta send this module ASAP  :(
thanks again mate

thanks for your reply Adrian.
That solution could work for me. I also will have a look on this Flamingo framework, if it ain't that hard to learn(i've got no time by now), Flamingo is going to be, otherwise, Encoding/Deconding will be the solution.
thanks again
