There are many servers that do not have web browsers installed.
Yep. I have to run XSLT on the server. There's a significant difference
in the resources (time, memory) required between running something based
on libxslt and running anything Java-based.
Also I
was rather under the impression that most web browser plugins were
written in C++ and not Java.
That seems correct to me.
There's likely fewer Java-enabled web browsers now than a year ago anyway
after the Java security problems seen since January. E.g., "Several
security firms routinely advise consumers and business to disable Java
browser add-ons, which are seldom needed to surf the 'net but sometimes
needed for internet applications." [1], and I have worked at a company
with a policy of disabling Java unless absolutely necessary.
