Hum, web app... did you have a look at Geoserver? It does provide WMS
and WFS services, the former is what you need for web mapping (along
with a front end which can be easily implemented with OpenLayers or
MapBender or MapBuilder or ...)

I've had a cursory look at your attempt and I have both bad news and
good news for you:
* what you're trying to implement is a kind of a "join query" between
   two feature types, something that's not implemented at all
   in geotools.
* you can achieve your goal by runninbg a Query against towns in order
   to extract the town boundary, and then run a second Query on
   filters that uses the boundary as a result. This will work.

Hope this helps
Cheers
Andrea
