    Can you use some kind of variable like this ?

    var = String;
    String str = (var)io.readOject();

    var = Integer;
    int i = (var)io.readObject();

    That syntax won't work. It might be done by using reflection.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
