hello elmar,

i'm not shure if t3 is the right platform and of course there is a 
number of implementations in java - that's why i ask the community ;)

in my opinion java would be the better platform for a implementation and
we could design an api to link or read/write to t3?!?

thanks for the link - i'll review this app...
