Petra, VNC Free Edition cannot serve both the VNC and HTTP protocols on the same port number - this feature is currently available only in the Enterprise and Personal editions.
The VNC Viewer for Java requires that it be possible to make a *direct* connection (i.e. not via a proxy) back to the server, on the specified RFB port. Support for HTTP "tunnelling" may be added in future but is not currently supported.
