As far as I'm concerned, Servlets (and JSP) and Applets solve different
problems. Servlets are an elegent way to provide web-centralizied business
logic. Applets are an elegent way (sometimes -- it'll get better once the
plug-in works everywhere) to provide sofisticated client application logic.
The classic example would be field validation vs. state validation -- it'd
be better to validate user input as it occurs. But you don't want to access
the database from the client.

Hi Chang,
I'm studying servlets and as I understand it, servlets are better
than CGI and better than applets. My view so far is that servlets
are more versatile than CGI, use less processing, and can be used
with data-bases and CORBA.
I don't plan to study Perl and CGI. It seems to me that servlets
have made CGI and Applets obsolete.
