Do you mean Java or do you mean JavaScript? They have nothing in common
except four letters.  You do not need any Java support in order to get 
JavaScript
pages to work - they are part of your HTML page, and the code that 
interprets
them is in your browser.

If you really mean Java then yes, you probably need three things:
* a Java runtime (the jdk port)
* an Apache connector (mod-jk is in ports; there are others);
* Tomcat or another Java Web server (tomcat is in ports)

See the O'Reilly book on Tomcat for details on the latter two.

We don't work that way. See the mailing lists page. If you volunteers 
to take their
time to answer you, then you must take the time to subscribe to the 
mailing list,
or wait a day or so and look in the mailing list archives.
