hi
U can very well use java on the server side. As far as TCP/IP is concerned u can use any language on the server side to listen on a socket .On the client side u can connect to the socket using BREW Socket APIs.
If u have or can acquire a minimal knowledge of http protocol for the client side , u can use any web server which will listen on port 80 on the server side ( instead of a java application ).


Best Of Luck :-)
