BTW i also integrated svg-edit which is a cool browser based svg editor: 
http://trac.yanel-contribution.3k3.org/wiki/svg-edit

would be nice.

the problem is null  is check and  just adds a RC without any 
properties. i think is not really proper to change the null behavior.

after thinking some more time i really would prefer a methode 
createRC(HttpServletRequest request).

i'm afraid as well. i would suggest to release CreatableV2 now as it is. 
and introduce a new Creatable with the new method. unfortunately there 
is already this CreatableV3. i guess it's not possible to introduce a 
CreatableV2.1 right?

wouldn't it make sense to release the interfaces early and often?
