Hi Geir, Well, if we will have a java-based webserver then there is no problem. As far as I understand Anton wasn't sure we have one.

Not today, I agree. But may be some day. Well, I have objections if I understand things correctly. There is no reason for "least common denominator" CGI+perl for this since it's not made to deploy everywhere. Yes, it can run locally on every build/test installation, but they are all java based anyway!
