No, proxy and impl don't have any information about each other. There is no
direct "connection" between them. The Impl does not need to know and cannot
know the number of corresponding proxies. So no special "disconnect" method is
called.
No again, putting code in the finalize() method is not the way to get access to
the state of the object in the database. In fact ozone tries to hide exactly
this information from the programmer.
I suggest to make a logOff() method on the server object. This can be
explicitely called from the client when it is going down.

What security are we talking about? Server authentication, security of the
tranmission, other?

It will use ozone. So it may be interesting for other users to know that it is
there, the main goals, and how it uses ozone. That's all what I had in mind.
