I don't think so. But anyway, Java is even more important on the server side than on a workstation. The industrie standard for application server is J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition). Just to name a few: Bea WebLogic, IBM Websphere, Borland AppServer, ATG Dynamo, Sun/Netscape IPlanet, JBoss, Orion, Allaire JRun etc. If you don't want to use Microsofts ASP / .NET solutions you need Java on the server for the competing technologies around Servlets, JSP's and EJB's...
