N-Tier PDM/PLM and user defined behaviour

A crunched but rich session at customer's site. We are designing the next generation of a successfull PDM/PLM product. Current version is client-server, next generation will be N-tier, web-services based. A good chance to review everything from database to business objects up to the client, capitalizing on several years of market experience and on new technologies.
Particularly interesting was the problem of user-defined behaviour on the distributed system. I wasn't happy with the solutions we came up with. Some triggered my sixth sense, "this ain't gonna work". Some lacked the striking elegance of simplicity.
I finally got what I think is a good idea, about one hour after the meeting. Peace of mind is often my trigger for zen enlightnment :-), where everything falls into place and I can find a simple solution to a wicked problem.
