Well, the sense of tiers and (BTW: language-independant) patterns is to modularize software and make things exchangable. This way neither the presentation tier nor the search engine is exchangable. The problem actually is that VLH is designed to have a static list of VOs. VLH needs to evolve to support something like a data provider that dynamically may add data. The problems here so far is that an Iterator must throw an ConcurrentModificationException if the backing data is modified but as data in a VLH is actually never removed but only added this should be something possible to implement.
