Hi Norbert,
Most people interpreted the specification like this: Network architecture:
STAND ALONE : GUI => DATA MANAGER => DATABASE FILE
SERVER MODE : GUI => SERVER => DATA MANAGER => DATABASE FILE
This is the easiest configuration I think. In stand alone mode you just leave out the server code, and have an instance of the data manager in the GUI. If you wish to run the GUI in server mode, then you need to start a server, and then start the gui, so two applications running in two JVM's. They can be on the same machine. If you want to run the GUI in stand alone mode, then you start the GUI application, so only one application running. Then you need to have some functions to open the database file from the GUI.
Hope this helps
Michael
