as the other contributors have said it is possible -but be carefull not to generate your command based on user input(i.e. from a form), a common hack pattern is to put legitimate UNIX/DOS commands in form fields on the off chance that it will be parsed and run in the shell when processed.

Subject: Is it possible to run a program?

Dear Sirs,
 
I just wanted to ask if it is possible to run a program on a server side using servlets...
 
For example, I have a firewall on my server and I want to control it thru my browser using a servlet.
 
Thank you very much for your attention!
