Now, this may be really stupid. But can we deploy a Java Swing Application (Desktop Application) on some application server like WAS (Websphere application server)? If yes why and when would we like to do this?

Sorry, new to all this.

Actually I am not trying to make it run on web. I am just asking that how a java swing client application can work with an application server. What can be the architecture and why one may need an application server at all with a java swing application, I mean what are the use cases. I just found this post, which is something what I am asking for;
Java Server application architecture with Swing thin client

But all of the answers and comment in response to linked post are not helping much either
