[Paraview] client <-> server communication

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

There's no easy way for doing that from the client side. Changing
output data objects outside of a filter/source is not recommended,
it's better to add those inside the filter/source's  RequestData().
Try creating a custom source instead.
