After several hours of work I did create a new Payment method called "monthly instalments". A customer using this method must select a number of instalments. I store this value in the costum Value 1 of the paymentDetails object.
While I have the order in memory I can get the number of instalments. But after saving the order and trying to load it, I can not get the saved value.
This is how I set the value:
QuotePaymentDetails[] payMethods = eng.getPaymentGateways(order,-1);
PaymentDetails mPay = payMethods[0];
mPay.setCustom1(instalments);
order.setPaymentDetails(mPay);
orderId = eng.saveOrder(sessionId, order, -1);
This is how I tried to get the value back:
QuoteOrder order = eng.getOrder(sessionId,orderId,-1);
PaymentDetails pd = eng.getPaymentGateway(order,order.getPaymentModuleCode(),-1);
String instalments = pd.getCustom1();
But getCustom1() is null. Is It posible that this value is never stored in the database?

Yes. You should use a custom field of the order.
