What is the field in which you are employing Java?
Just curious. I realize you want to keep your idea to yourself, I'm just wondering in general terms. For instance, are you thinking of a social network, a social messaging system like IM, email or twitter, or 3D web gaming. You see, I think if what you are thinking of is easier done in other lingos I would say save yourself the java headaches and use php or python or <insert dynamic lingo here>. If, however, you are thinking about say... 3D gaming, it can ONLY be done in java right now and you should use it regardless of who would invest in it.
