>From Jython/JPython you can use any java code on the class path,
so instead of rewriting your Java app you can reuse it.
See 'Interaction with Java packages' on
http://www.jython.org/docs/index.html
Basically this allows you to keep your app almost as it is and
do new developments for it in Jython.

Have fun,
