Hi Stefan,

Thanks for the ideas.  The problem is that I don't have the pieces of 
data in a Vector either.  I'd have to create the vectors manually and 
probably not conveniently.  You're right...the parallel arrays/vectors 
with ids and values could get out of sync.

I wonder if

st.setAttribute("tokens.name,type", new Object[] {"Ter","342"});

is not the cleanest solution given Java's "issues" ;)
