Ah, here it is:

According to the site, it will handle X11 forwarding over SSH using a pure-java client, and apparently it can indeed be run as an applet (or as an application). It supports XDMCP, so there's your solution:
Set up a custom Linux server which handles XDMCP and forwards X connections over SSH. Then set up a custom DMCP environment to launch your app in a restricted user account, set up apache and this X server, such that navigating to the web server running on that machine launches the X server as an applet, which in turn performs an XDMCP query over an SSH tunnel (or otherwise handles the needed handshaking) and launches a Linux standalone of your Rev app inside a Java applet in the users' web browsers.
Might take some work, but hey, if you can get it working, it would meet your requirements...

I have seen info about an X windows server which is written completely in Java. You could probably use that in a web browser to connect to a UNIX (Linux) version of a Rev standalone somewhere (correction: the UNIX version of a Rev standalone would connect to the Java-based X server, so yes you would need to make some arrangements for tunneling through firewalls, etc; I don't know enough about that particular X server to know if that is supported internally or not).
Maybe you could rig something with that.
BTW, this is another reason to keep the UNIX engines around: the "network-transparent" X windows system...
An X server written in Java!!! damn!!!! once I saw a TCP/IP stack done in PHP... well, I am a real fan of X11 forwarding, I did some experiments in that front with Rev, you can check it at

I don't know if a X11 server written in java is supposed to run as applet... should we try?
