Why is java considered a language for "web" or "internet" programming?

Howdy....

I've been learning a bit of java, because I've been led to believe it
is the language to use if you want to make web sites. So far, it just
seems like C or C++, more or less.

What is it about java that makes it good for people making web sites?


Thanks very much for any enlightenment you may be able to offer.....
