Mixed Language Environments

[Steven Smith]

Is memcached intended to be used in mixed language environments,  
i.e., where there are Ruby clients, Java clients, etc. sharing the  
same caches?  My suspicion is that there would be potential decoding  
issues, etc. when getting a value in one language environment which  
had been set by another.  Just FYI, I've successfully installed  
memcached and have it working from with both Java and Ruby clients,  
but have ran into problems getting values in the Java environment  
that were set with a Ruby client.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
Steven
