It would be nice to see the client and server broken down into separate jar 
files.  I'm calling webservices from within applets.  
This particular app is on an extranet so the large download and the policy 
files for breaking out of the sandbox are not too much of an inconvenience 
but a smaller, sandbox ready client would be a welcome site.
