Are you aware of Developer/2000 Web Application Server? It is included with release 1.4W and abov e. It automatically renders a Java replica of a Form while the body of the Form runs on the backend application server. The beauty of the approach is that you do not have to reimplement your fontend in Java. The same Form source can run on Unix in character mode, run on Windows in client/server mode, and on the Web as a Java applet.

If you have already considered this and want to do it a different way, fine. But you should investigate this solution first...
