I know many many places where Java exists but unless you are an insider you'd never know. One example ... the American Idol TV show.

Java handles the connection to the phone network insrting the votes
counting the votes
responding to the voters that their vote has been counted

BTW: The database: Oracle RAC.

Java, in many cases is being used not with the web but as a replacement for what has traditionally been done with C/C+.
