I'm currently working on a function pair which creates/recreates
complete dictionaries to and from a single string which can be
transmitted in a hidden form value or may be request body in your case.
(In fact its ready - I'm only in the testing stage ;)

In any way you'll end up haveing a dispatcher method on the target site
which receives data for object creation as well as their properties.
You should be very carefull in designing this as this might open a
security hole.

Tino
