[eclipse-users] Long parameter lists

My constraint computation on a design problem requires anywhere from 40-50
parameters. The constraint program itself will be embedded in a java
program.

What would be the most scalable and robust way of passing and returning such
a large number of values to the program?

a) Both calling program and constraint program write / read to DB or some
such persistent storage accessible by both programs
b) As part of the parameter list

Thanks
