You could be a Java programmer too depending on what type of Java courses you are taking. You could be dealing with all sorts of things depending on the company you will be working in.

But most Java web apps would be built using J2EE. That means using JSP with JDBC to connect to Oracle Database(most of the time) etc. And depending on your company too, sometimes you will have to design the layout of the web app yourself. You will definately need some basic in HTML too because JSP is HTML plus Java. But I guess some parts of HTML will be covered in your course if you are taking a J2EE course.
