I had the same problem and I had solved it by using a Properties Objekt
instead a Hashtable. The Properties-Objekt has Methods for writing all in a
File or something like this and I write all in a String and than I use
simple String as parameter or result-value instead of Hashtable.
Itīs not a really good way but it works find and you donīt need a lot of
time for implementation. The nices way should be to write
serializers/deserializers for your client.

Hope that helps you
