Yes, it is. When I and a partner a time ago worked on a specification of how we would manage to implement a thin client philosofy on a company, we sticked to the concept of intranet aplications, maybe with a framework for that done in Java Servlets. I know there are some solutions for working with Java on thin clients, but even if I like Java, it's not thin enought to run on a thin client. But some web browsers are ( ex: DrWebSpyder from Caldera, wich run on a i386 and comes in a single floppy ), and can access server side logic with Servlets. Some classes can give you graphics on demand, PDF on demand and so on, and I also imagine these clients will run aplications that would consist in endless forms if done in other languages, so, HTML has all you need. I hope I have been of some help. You could check Caldera Website and The JavaSoft Site for some more info.
