   What are data templates and instances?

   I hope I have explained things in my previous email. 
'org.biomoby.shared' will stay (as far as I can tell). If you feel a need 
for a sub-package containing data structure feel free to create 
'org.biomoby.shared.data' (but at the moment I am not going to move there 
any of my data classes - simple, as explained earlier, it is too many 
changes in the users code which is not justified now - I believe).

   Why do you think that MobyRequest is a server/client combination? Do 
you mean perhaps service/client combination? If that is the case, I think 
this class should be in 'org.biomoby.shared' (or it its subpackage of your 
choice). If this class is used only by clients (when they call a moby 
service) then it should go to 'org.biomoby.client'.

   Cheers,
