I've just installed awstats from http://awstats.sourceforge.net/
and so far it looks great.

It's perl based.  I'm running Redhat 7.2, apache, tomcat 4,
mod_perl, mod_webapp, and
awstats just plugged into the /var/www/awstats directory with
a slight twist of httpd.conf.

The stats can be viewed using most web browsers and you can
either protect access or leave it open.  The stats aren't
regenerated for each request.

Updates by awstats are usually scheduled using cron or similar,
and the documentation has suggestion for the frequency of the
updates.  The updates are performed by running the awstats.pl
script so you could probably arrange for a servlet to do that
for you on demand.

I suspect this is all provided by awstats.  I'm still in
the process of evaluation...

see above.
