That depends on your needs and your scene setup. You might want to look at this thread: http://www.jpct.net/forum2/index.php/topic,2413.0.html. It contains some code at the end of the thread. The code is for desktop jPCT but the basic idea will also work in jPCT-AE. Another way (if the object has to follow actual geometry), would be to use collision detection for this.

I tried that, but not succeeded. I am able to move the object with touch event, but, it moves only very little. I think the problem is with the difference between screen coordinates and world space coordinates. Can any one suggest how to convert the screen (mouse or touch) coords to world ( object ) coords. Also I want to move the object at z pos of -30 ( World coords). Now it moves only at z pos. of 0. I need help in this matter also.
Thanks in advance.

As mentioned, it highly depends on the scene and what your touch event is supposed to do. If i got you correctly, maybe this is already sufficient: http://www.jpct.net/jpct-ae/doc/com/threed/jpct/Interact2D.html#reproject2D3DWS(com.threed.jpct.Camera, com.threed.jpct.FrameBuffer, int, int, float)
