||unity-dev|| attribute persistence: more than one value/extra fields?

hi drew,
sounds like you have two options:
1) store all the information in a single attribute with a delimited 
value. e.g.,
vote = "voterID|voteeID|value"

2) write a little bit of server-side java in a custom room that receives 
the information via a custom UPC and sets fields accordingly in the db.

hope that helps,
colin
