Thanks for letting me know... I hadn't had time to look into this yet  
but if that was a genuine problem it was a little scary...

Yeah, the remote invocation with fairly minimal OFBiz jars in the  
classpath and such is nice. Andy originally implemented that as part  
of plans to create some specialized client applications like a  
shipping station and such.

Glad it's of use...
