This may be of interest to some, or you might feel a
little bit sick after reading it.  Following links
from Gordon Weakliem's blog (going via Bill
Clementson) I got to the following on continuation
based web frameworks for Java, and (apparently) single
shot Java continuations:

Cocoon + continuations:
-
http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=RhinoWithContinuations
- http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=WhatIsFlow

This works by using a Javscript interpreter that
supports continuations

Java language continuations:
-
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/cocoon-2.1/src/blocks/javaflow/java/org/apache/cocoon/components/flow/java/

It I understand the implementation correctly, this
works by have a custom class loader inserting code in
each basic block to capture the current environment. 
A comment says the continuations are single use only.

PS: Ehud, this is going straight to Lambda!  Just
thought I'd horrify the gentle folk here first.
