Well, VW supports servlets.  They don't load into a JVM like Java servlets 
do, but they operate the same way.  You have a persistent image that keeps 
running, and either a port redirection or CGI relay from the http server.

In terms of how it looks at the front end, it's all just servlets - I have 
a servlet in my blog server that implement the server side of the 
MetaWebLog API, for instance.

There's no reason you couldn't do the same in Squeak
