Swing, applets on top of Turbine?

Hi,
 
I've been thinking about adding a non-web based front end to my
application.  Right now, I'm using custom Services and Pull tools for
most of my domain model.  I would like to have the GUI access those same
services and tools that the web pages are reading from.  Is stuff like
this possible on top of Turbine?  Sorry, but I don't know much about
Swing or applets or anything beyond servlets.  I'd rather not waste time
learning how they work, only to find out I'm not going to be able to use
them with my webapp anyway.
 
Thanks,
Rex

I think you can, but it isn't an easy thing to do. your client should
establish a connection to your server, parse the output ( maybe XML )
and create the widget on the fly, as the browser does. 

Or, as we are using java, the server running turbine and you fat client
can exchange java objects. that is much better IMHO.

If you really do this, let me know which approach you took !

Thanks for the suggestions.  It all sounds a bit difficult, so I'll have
to decide whether it's worth it or not.
