By that I think you mean adding VNC support to the java-based web
interface. In that case +1. I can recommend noVNC[1], but you do need a
websockets proxy. I can recommend VNCAuthProxy[2] as a programmable
proxy with a JSON control channel. On the plus side all dependencies are
in fedora/epel. Downside is no IPv6 support. Maybe you can also write a
pure java implementation integrate this into the engine itself?

Or launch client program via MIME bindings[1] both for Vnc and Spice.
Not as neat as "noVnc" but will work in most scenarios, without having
to maintain the actual console implementation.
