It's java, why not get it from Sun? http://java.sun.com/j2se/

You want either the 1.4 beta or 1.3.1. There are two packages, a RedHat 
RPM shell script and a GNUZIP Tar shell script. I've installed both with 
equal success, but if you have to use alien to do the RPM. This will let
you compile and run applets.

Not quite sure what you mean by "run Java Server Pages", but I've
successfully embedded applet referencse in html, publish the pages in
apache and seen them work in a browser.
