As Jython is in some sense "just a Java program" -- it (Jython, that is)
being written entirely in Java -- a Jython "program" is really just an
ordinary Java program that happens to read in text files with .py
extensions and happens to use a lot of the Java reflection API.  So
assuming some details like the fact that Java security has to be set up to
enable the writing of files (normal for Java applications) your Jython
programs can run in J2EE containers just like any Java programs can.  And,
yes, this is a *very* nice feature of Jython.
