	176	+If you don't want a D2JC application, then you are on your own for creating the user interface for it. Your client-side application can be a command-line or GUI application. If you want a Swing GUI, then I **highly** recommend Florijan Stamenkovic's [[JBND Framework>>http://web.mac.com/flor385/JBND/]]
