Migrating Java Gui tool from CLI to web

Hi Experts,

I am practically with nil knowledge of java. I have this new requirement i would like to explore.

there is this java base GUI application which loads GUI and lets user select a file.

GUI is initiaited by following CLI

HTML Code:
java  -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -cp .:vstats.jar:jcommon-1.0.16.jar:jfreechart-1.0.13.jar:xerces.jar openet.visualstats.gui.Main
We want to make this tool available to all. Idea is to somehow open this gui by calling something like http://web.server/appl/appl.xyz.

Tool should open in web interface and work normally. I have apache server up and running which supports my other web pages.

As i already mentioned i know nothing about java.
- Is it feasible at all ?
- How big this task is ?
- Can i do it with some copy paste or i need to really get into java and learn it all.

Any comments ..
Smilie

We have no way to tell how difficult this could be. It won't be a trivial change -- a webpage is not a GUI and application persistence doesn't work the same way in CGI. Depending on how the application was written it could mean a nearly total rewrite.
