Your looking at rewriting it pretty much from scratch.

It is certainly possible, but requires some planning. There arent any real 'tools' you can use to convert or build the system. You may want to have a look at oracle's web system, but I havent been terribly impressed by it. Best way I have tried is writing a CGI interface in C, perl, or Java. using java applets (depending on your audience) would be an interesting project.
