Java Programming

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, and it probably isn't, but I don't really know what else to do at the moment.

I have a problem. I've written all these nice and pretty Java applications that do all this complicated junk that makes me proud. However...I have no idea how to actually run those applications.

I've looked at guides on Java applets, Java Web Start, Java Server Pages, etc, and I still am not sure. JSP looked like the best option, until I figured out I can't use it with my web server. So, I've pretty much hit a wall here.

If anyone could shed some light on this, I would be very appreciative. All I want is for a certain application to run when a user clicks a button on a simple HTML page. That's all I want...yet it seems so hard.

Is there a simple way to do this, or do I need to use JWS or something and configure all these JARs and JNLP and classpaths and everything under the sun (no pun intended)?

Again, I apologize if there is a better forum for this; I am just very confused right now and feel like I've hit a brick wall. If anyone can give me any advice, or point me in a good (easy) direction, I would truly be grateful.
