Migrate Stand alone app to J2EE application server

Hi,

I need some clarifications for my doubts.

I have a core Java stand alone application that is connected to database (2-tier) with JDBC.

And my boss want to migrate the app to J2EE application server.

But as I know J2EE application server is for web application,

but mine is stand alone core Java app, so it might not be feasible.

And the application is fully accessing Swing GUI features like JTable,

so I don't think it is a good idea to convert the app to J2EE web application.

But anyway, I want to check the possibility of the migration.

I am thinking the possible way is to convert to Applet.

But what disadvantages or restrictions can be happened if I take that,

like memory pre-allocation problem?

And the application server is on another country, also we might use the database on that side.

I'd appreciate if you give me your opinion on the above issue.

Thank you in advance.
