You seem confused about the difference between Java and JavaScript. If you build a web app using Java on the server, you have two types of code that can run:

  1. You have the Java code of your servlet, which run on the server.
  2. You have JavaScript code, which runs in the user's browser.

If you need to access Firebase products from the servlet, you do so using the Firebase Admin SDK for Java. The documentation contains a section on creating a user from there.

If you need to access Firebase products from the browser, you do so using the Firebase Web SDK. The documentation for that also contains a section on creating a user.

There is no single right-or-wrong way to create a user. You will have to make up your mind where you want user creation to happen.

That said, since you're new to this, I recommend foregoing the Java server for a moment and first get started with just client-side Firebase. For a quick start, I recommend taking the Firebase codelab for web developers.
