OK, I expected something like exec() (which is for system calls, to invoke something on the command line). Sure, it is restricted on online webservers, because it certainly is a huge security risk for the entire system. Further, do you know if a JavaVM is installed and callable on the webserver? I fear that could not be the case. So I'm more or less looking for a solution which provides the opportunity to run Java programs locally on an online webserver. Probably there's no other way than renting a dedicated Java webserver platform (if such thing exists at all besides cloud computing) or to rent an entire webserver machine and install the JavaVM by hand by being fully responsible for the server security by myself.
