Lol. Java was absolutely designed for the web. Why do you think the main language of the web is called JavaScript? Java 1.0 came with the HotJava browser and Netscape 3 had a feature called LiveConnect that linked the JVM and the DOM together.
As for embedding a JVM, sure, why not? Good JVMs are open source these days and HotSpot starts in 50 msec or less. V8 is very comparable, tech wise in terms of its approach. Lots of code out there targets JVM bytecode.
