Hi Christian,

thanks for your answer.
We are developing a multi-layered client-server architecture,
so we are interested in riena. That is, the architecture- and 
server-folks at my company are, I'm responsible for developing 
an RCP-Client. They liked the look of your sample-app and
wanted me to emulate it (no, I have not been to your presentation).
I'll talk with our jee-guru next week and let you know if he
has any wishes concering riena. 

greetings,
Manuel
