Hi Tamas, thanks for your reply. Modularity is not my only concern. I am pretty sure that performance considerations will soon force me to separate the app, since the web services will do lots of number crunching, which in turn, will slow down the entire app. Apart from that, I figured it's a better, cleaner approach plus it's gonna me more stable (I hope), since e.g. if the web services "break" the web gui will not be affected in any way.
