More Background Details - 

Actually we have a java desktop application and we are planning to launch that java desktop application using JWS and that is working absolutely fine.

The issue is -- we ask some user related information from user on web page and launch java desktop application using JWS. Now we would like to have that information provided by user on web page in our java application.
