More like a BBS.  The Java process monitors a data stream, performing
actions on objects in the data stream in near real time.  I'd like to
give a certain class of users the ability to make "special requests" via
a web based form which would be saved either within the web server or an
external database.  The Java process will check these special requests
before acting and honor them when feasible.

I've looked at JPython and will likely use it for regression testing of
Java code.  I don't think it'll help here though.  I'm also considering
Apache with JServe, though this would restrict me to an external
database.  Zope is attractive because it combines web services,
persistent store, and search capability in what seems to be an easy to
manage package.  I need to do this quickly and have a couple of other
irons in the fire right now.
