Rework on the OpenShift client library to avoid duplicate and potentially out-of-sync layers of Objects on the client side, while still being able to lazyly load the data from OpenShift when they are queried:

Code sample :

public String getRhlogin() throws OpenShiftException {
  if (rhlogin == null) {
    refresh();
  }
  return rhlogin;
}
 
public void refresh() throws OpenShiftException {
  UserInfo userInfo = service.getUserInfo(this);
  this.uuid = userInfo.getUuid();
  this.namespace = userInfo.getNamespace();
  this.rhcDomain = userInfo.getRhcDomain();
  this.sshKey = userInfo.getSshPublicKey();
  this.domain = new Domain(
    this.namespace
    , this.rhcDomain
    , this
    , service);
  this.applications = null;
}

Idem for the list of applications, perhaps using a custom ApplicationList (extends List<Application>) instance which would maintain an internal state value (initialized : boolean), and that would be able to call the OpenShift service when necessary (a bit in the Hibernate way of managing lazy containers)
