My guess is that "Java support" means your ISP merely has a JVM available to
execute code (probably in a Tomcat server), and you have to compile your
servlets locally and upload them to the appropriate directory. Indeed, it
would surprise me very much if an ISP took on the burden of constantly
monitoring and updating the various Java SDKs.
Cheers!
