Subject: java strings read and write

Hello Ruby Fans

I want to prepare some data so that a java program on a mobile phone can
read them most easily. Currently my java program reads it char by char
in a line oriented way. This works, but is slow on some phones, and also
I need to handle newlines in the data in a special way.
Now I like to create a file with "native java strings", in this case
strings that can be read with DataInputStream.readUTF() method.
I hope that this simplifies the code and improves the speed.

I don't need a complete Ruby/Java Integration, I just want to write
these java strings to a file (or to stdout as a cgi-script).
Are there any libraries for this?

Regards

Karsten Meier
