Hi,
A lot will depend on how the servlet is to be used - servlets are based around HTTP
comms, so if you're wanting e.g. user interaction you will have fun sorting out
what messages to send from form post operations etc. It is remarkably
straightforward to stick an application that doesn't have a lot of GUI stuff - you
pretty much just take the code from within your main class and bung it in a servlet
class e.g.
public class WasMyMain extends HttpServlet{
I haven't really looked at it, but I guess that you would be able to do redirection
from the Jess UI to HTTP, but this could get a bit fiddly - I'd be tempted to strip
down the front end a bit first and then build a HTTP-based GUI from scratch (no as
bad as it sounds - doesn't need much more than HTML).
I don't know if you've already done this, but it can take a while to get the
servlet runner (Jserv or whatever) going right on your web server - what I'm trying
to say is, get HelloWorldServlet working first before attacking the Jess code.
The Java Tutorial is pretty good on servlets :
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/servlets/index.html
and there's the mailing list :

I'd love to hear how you get on.
Cheers,
Danny.
