I was curious about this a while back, so tried it and, yeah, it does work
(with a little fiddling).  The biggest challenge is learning how
EODistribution works.  I will send you my sample project off-list.

The question I had is, does the license allow this?  It really depends on
whether this counts as "modifying" WebObjects.  Making it work requires two
"modifications":
1) JavaFoundation requires some small tweaks to the binary for it to be used
successfully by android
2) All the jars have to be "dexed" - translated into dalvik's own bytecode
format

This is legally questionable at best and Apple would hate it either way, so
I'd proceed at your own risk.  But I'd be interested to hear what others
think.
