On the same machine running your CGI script from the command line and setting up the appropriate env variables does it work, or using the same code and using command line application does it work? There should be no difference. The CGI module will have to run it as a normal CGI, and java definitely has no firewall or blocking capabilities unless someone codes them and starts them. It sounds like something else on the system or a script error to me.
