java.exe File

Welcome to JavaRanch.

It's used everywhere Java is run, not just on the server. I'm not sure what you mean by "its concept" - it is the executable that starts the JVM.

Thanks for reply!
i have doubt that how many java.exe file are exist in server side . Is that depends on application(for each project separate exe )or it is onle one for all Projects .

The java.exe executable is part of the Java runtime environment. Normally you install it only once, so there is just one java.exe which is used to run all Java programs.

There can be more than one java.exe process executing at the same time, though. A new one is started for each JVM you start, so if you run concurrent JVMs, you'll see several java.exe processes simultaneously.
