Does Java work on a linux server? If not, is there a work around? Thanks!

You can install the JVM on a server, though I would not recommend installing any sort of development tools with it. What are you trying to do?

I was trying to get a java racing game I got for free, to work on my website.
However, if java and linux really do not play well together, then I'd skip it.
My site is hosted on a linux server. I'd have to do a code work around, as I do not have direct access to the linux server, only cPanel. So, I'm not sure its even wise. :D I can always make a JS racing game down the road once I finally learn the language. What do you think?

You can serve java just fine on linux. He's just suggesting not to install development tools on the server.

Then means I have to put the source code and all in the Java forum to figure out why the images don't work on the linux server. I keep getting the old images that are NOT in the folder on my site. It has to be taking the images from somewheres. Probably a cache I don't have access too, as I've cleared my browser cache and history.
I'll post in the java forum and see what gives. The issue might simply be the code is java for a palm os, so is really wonky on the internet.
Thanks! I'll start a new thread if information from the Java forum gives me a linux question to ask.
