First, I'm really against giving it a .txt extension even if it is.  Why 
advertise what is inside the container.  ;-)
Second, shouldn't we have a simple M-V-C paradigm here where the model 
is the data model?
To me the client be it web or Swing is the view.  The controller is the 
server processes that hook it all together.

Swing isn't really that clean.  The Controller and View are both in the 
Bean JComponent with the Model being somewhere else.   BTW  I'm suppose 
to be the Swing guy on this team.  ;-)

Speaking of that if the Swing and client JARS have a JNLP file to launch 
them over HTTP then we just socket back to the server for shared 
information.  The way Google Earth streams data to a 3D client comes to 
mind but not everyone wants a really cool RICH GUI client.  I guess it 
would be a FAT client if all of the worlds data came with the Google 
Earth installation.  :-)
