Best practices for different client types? [message #1118685]

I'll start with a practical example. My application creates and print reports.
I would like to develop different behaviours, depending on client type: e.g. on RAP client I would like to open the PDF on the browser, on Swing I would like to start document print. So, I would implement the abstract feature on the client plugin, and the concrete action on... ?
What is the best practice?

Thanks

Have a look at org.eclipse.scout.rt.shared.ui.UserAgentUtility, it offers a number of methods such as:
- isSwtUi()
- isRapUi()
- isDesktopDevice()
- isWebClien()
and many more that should help you decide which behaviour is needed when you create your report.
