hi chris,
actually a non-trivial question. It do some extend depends really on your personal taste or the taste of your IAD
designer. There are some more or less trivial examples that should help with what is the difference between a
subapplication, a module and a submodule or at least how we view them. When you consult customers on the use of Riena we
are sometimes surprised because they find different uses for our concept.
So in that sense there is some freedom :-), pretty much the same as if you design an RCP app how to place your views.
I can always offer to do a workshop if you need help on that part. Its hard to give you a good advise otherwiese if I
dont know the context......
