I can see that :-) Actually, our current code is in a state that isn't THAT different, but we're getting more and more into maintenance and adapation to different frontends (currently: migrating the stuff from desktop app to webservice). Separation will soon be a necessity. > For the GUI part, I'n not using Swing. I use Apache Pivot > which I think works great with Cayenne. Wow. Pivot looks like a very interesting framework. I wish I had noticed its release; it covers most if not all hard problems I'm facing right now. Regards, Jo
