um, the users would need a Java environment if they were running Java
applications.

what 'interface' are you referring to ?  a client application can
connect to a postgres server with the postgres protocol, by default over
port 5432/tcp...  a client application would do this using libpq, or a
native interface like jdbc (if the client is java)
