Hi Andreas,
I was thinking more along the lines of a generic HTML5 app (something that
would run on iPads, Android Tablets, and laptops (some of the newer laptops
have touch sensitive screens).

As for how to approach this, my first thought is to use SVG.  You would
might have an rectangle that represents a Class and in the svg it might
look like this

<rect ... class="umlclass">....

The server code would parse the class attributes and determine what's a
class and what's an interface.

Another approach would be for the server to generate JSON POJOs that
represent model elements.  The client side code would then use those POJOs
as models for JavaScript classes that would render the requisite GUI
elements in a canvas object.  Something like this might help:
