You cannot directly use some arbitrary application as a Web application; it's always better to use some API.

However, if this is a console-only application, you can start it using System.Diagnostic.Process.Start, redirect StandardOutput and, just in case, StandardError streams and later present this text information on your Web page. The redirection code sample is shown here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.standardoutput%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

[EDIT]

With Java, there are the similar ways to redirect redirectOutput and redirectError. See, for example:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/ProcessBuilder.html#redirectOutput(java.lang.ProcessBuilder.Redirect)[^],
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/ProcessBuilder.html#redirectError(java.lang.ProcessBuilder.Redirect)[^],
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/ProcessBuilder.html[^].
