If you're already comfortable with Java, I believe Cold Fusion would be a good candidate to get your feet wet in the world of web programming. As of their latest version "MX", Cold Fusion is a language built entirely on top of Java. As a result, there are many different ways you can plug-in Java components shoud you choose to, and it also supports a fairly complete OO environment to develop in.

You can read more about it here (http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/).

I would also suggest a very different language, PHP (http://www.php.net). It's one of the fastest growing web languages out there. It's a fairly simple (although not as simple as Cold Fusion generally speaking), easy to learn language that's also FREE, which is always a bonus. You can generally find cheaper web hosting packages that support PHP. Cold Fusion web hosting generally costs a bit more.

Lastly, I'm sure you're already aware that Java has it's own web language, JSP (http://java.sun.com/products/jsp/). Since you're already familiar with Java, this is also a strong possiblity. JSP development is generally more difficult, and time consuming than either of the two above-mentioned web languages however, but once mastered it can be a very powerful language to work with.

I agree with Grizzly. Dreamweaver integrates very nicely with Coldfusion and is quite easy. I started with Colfusion, but do everything in PHP now. I really like PHP.

pHp if you want a very easy and extremely powerful language. I've used every other language out there but pHp by far is the best I've ever touched. I code exclusively in it now.
