Using JavaHelp with a web app

Question

We have a system where our front end is either a Rich Client application or a web interface into the back end. We are working on adding context-sensitive help to our system, but we need to use the same base configuration files - i.e. the context-sensitive help files would need to be the same, and preferably use the same system. I was looking into JavaHelp, which seems to use xml/xhtml files for its formatting. Does anyone know if it is usable in a web-based application, or if you should only expect it to be usable in a rich client setting?

Thanks.

JavaHelp can be used in server based applications, see here - section 5.7 Server−Based JavaHelp Helpsets (page 112)
