'java -version' command in CMD

Question

When I run the 'java -version' command in Command Prompt, then it gives me the following information:

java version "1.7.0_01"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_01-b08)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 21.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing)

Can I run a web page that hosts a Java Applet properly?

PS: I'm using Windows 7 32 bit.

Answer 1

You don't need Java installed on the server to host a Java applet. Applets are executed on the client side. Apache server (do not confuse with Apache Tomcat) or similar is enough.
