You should elaborate on the "various reasons". All that you described is
done by the paraview application, connected to a remove pvserver. You can
extend or reduce paraview's functionality (
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Writing_Custom_Applications).

Apart from the wiki, you can only search the web for discussions of similar
topics or read the Paraview Guide (book).

I think you should explain why you don't want to use the paraview
application as your client.
