Yes, you are right that Java can be run server side and there are others like Python (along with about 100 others neither you or I mentioned) but Java and Python running server-side for web-sites don't even come close to the numbers that PHP, ASP, and maybe an honorable mention to Perl holds. Thus I see it as moot to even mention JSP and Python as potential languages that threaten PHP.
Edit: The reason I didn't mention Java being able to be run on servers is because I found it pretty clear he meant normal client-side Java. Especially since he mentioned AJAX which really told me he had server-side and client-side confused.
