Not write once, but compile once
The intended property of java was to compile once, obtaining a byte-code that can run anywhere that has the virtual machine (jvm) available. The success of achieving this is disputable. The described property of write once, run everywhere (sometimes write once, compile lots, run everywhere) is just a property of 'portable code'.
