If you define it that way, then yes. But i don't see why that's a useful

I realise that this definition is popular, even though it isn't useful.
That doesn't seem to be a good reason to use it.
Lew proposed:
Hypertext is not an essential feature of Web apps. That it's an app
and that it is accessed via the Web are all you need.

Okay, seems reasonable to me. By that definition, applets, Flash, and
JWS are all web apps.
Absolutely, although the application delivered by JWS need not be.
As in it could also run standalone? Or something else?
Web services fall under the "Web application" rubric also.
You reckon? I think of web services as just another kind of RPC (even
REST), and whilst they may well be used by web apps, they aren't web apps
on their own.
