I just had another thought. I read Jackie's post about mapguide4j ( http://themapguyde.blogspot.com/2013/07/about-that-as-yet-un-announced-project.html) and was wondering if this might be a possibility for wrapping it all up in an app and deploying it with the UI? I don't know any of the details about this as I just read it last night, so I might be totally off on what it is.
