Here is the part of my code that fails:

Answer 1

First make sure that Java has been installed on the server. Then you should check the following:

If you start a process, it looks for the file name both in the working directory and in the directories listed in the PATH environment variable. Chances are good that on your developer machine the Java-directory has been added to the PATH variable for convinience.

Instead of assigning just java as the executable path, a more stable way is to provide the full path of the executable you want to start.

A - less clean - way to fix this quickly is to change the PATH variable on the server so that the Java-directory is also contained. Nevertheless I'd propose to reference the executable by its full path so that you don't have to change the PATH variable on each computer you want to run your program on.
