you could package a light weight servlet container like Jetty along with your ZK app into a single Install program. That way, the web app. could be distributed and deployed as separate "desktop" apps on each client machine..

Basically the only difference between a web app. and a desktop app. is that it needs a java server to run (Tomcat, JBoss, Jetty, etc...). So just like you can package a desktop app. onto an Install CD that could be shipped to any client to install it on their PC, the web app could be done the same way as long as you bundle a light weight server like Jetty ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jetty_(web_server) ) in the Install program along with your ZK app. Then the client can just run the Install program to load both the Server and your ZK app onto their individual PC and run like separate desktop apps..
