@carpetsmoker,
True because 100% of all Java programmers are not doing it for the web but the only other thing to go on is what you see for yourself and, perhaps, the "help wanted" on the job boards. Coincidentally, on another forum, someone brought up this same subject. Last year, I ran through the job boards of 5/6 major cities: San Francisco, LA, NY, Chicago, St. Louis and one more to see who was hiring for what. In that case, the comparison was between PHP, Java and .NET. PHP ads outnumbered .NET 4:1 and Java was even higher.
When somebody posted the question today, I looked at monster.com for listings in San Jose (essentially Silicon Valley). Java outnumbers .NET 109 to 39 listings.
