I use an embedded Jython interpreter extensively for the business
logic layer of a Servlet/J2ee application. The back end uses,
Hibernate to connect to the database, so Jython's JavaBean
functionality is very useful for me, vastly simplifying and clarifying
my own logic.

As an added bonus, it is vastly easier to debug and redeploy a Jython
script file into a running system than it is to do the same with a
session EJB.
