For me its because I know more about Java than I do about CGI or Perl.
The code that I am doing does not have to switch platforms, it is being
written for a Linux platform because that is the platform its going to
run on. :)

It works quite well with just running using the Process and Runtime
classes. Granted it takes a little fiddling till you know it works but
from then its fine.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cd /tmp ; mkdir T");
should work fine, no matter what user Jserv is running as.
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("ls");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(process.getInputStream()));
String line;
while((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
out.println(line);
}
the above code prints out the result of an ls directory listing
