ServerSocket from within Tapestry

Hi team,

I'm in the final stages of developing a Tapestry webapp for a
multi-contractor worksite.  Most user interactions will be via webpage
forms, with state displayed on a dashboard page, involving mostly text
(though done attractively).

To support this application I've also developed a small desktop
application to reflect state in a more graphical way, using Java 2D
graphics.  Communication between server and client would be socket-based
transmission of objects: ObjectOutputStream + ObjectInputStream.

My question is how best to implement and launch this serverside Java
networking code from inside a Tapestry application.  Ideally I'd like to
generate data for a client using CrudServiceDAO, in much the same way as I
would generate an HTTP response within a Tapestry page.  The server code
should start on launching the Tapestry application, and immediately start
listening on a given port.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Chris.
