Javascript will not be able to access server side java code directly. It will need to make an ajax call to access a method or make a http call.

If you have applets you will be able to access the applet java code.

See example here http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/js_java.html

When you say "java file" I presume you mean a Java applet. In that case, say you have this applet code on your page:

<applet id="myapplet" class="MyApplet.class" ... />

If you wanted to call the helloWorld() method in that applet, you simply need to do this:

<script type="text/javascript>
    document.getElementById['myapplet'].helloWorld();
</script>
