A couple of suggestions to help you track this down:
* The sample form at your URL above wants to go to "localhost", so
I cannot see what the result of trying to execute a command is. (You
probably don't want to leave this open to the Internet and let people
execute unfriendly commands :-)
* You are not trapping an IOException that can be returned by the
Runtime.exec() method -- if this is triggered, it will also abort your
servlet and throw the IOException back to the servlet engine. Put
the exec() call in a try/catch block.
* Try the code in a standalone application that runs in the same environment
as the servlet (same classpath as your zone repositories, same PATH as
the servlet engine for finding executable binaries, and so on). This will
eliminate any servlet-engine dependencies until your own code works OK.
