Just too cover two replies in one.

I think the app is great,   I like the jiggling logon screen when you 
get an incorrect logon.

Personally,  I have been doing a few internal utility applications in 
Swing using cayenne's ROP and it has worked fantastically.   Using 
Netbeans Matisse GUI builder allows for very quick and good looking 
interfaces.    It has been a  pleasure to work with  and a much better 
experience  than  trying to do the same thing in a web application.   
You get instant AJAX and an over all quicker interface to both use and 
develop.

Hope the ROP stuff gets even better.
