applet = browser application
servlet = server application
The major conceptual difference is that an applet executes in the context of
the browser, whereas a servlet runs in the context of the web server. This
means that the applet has easy access to the user interface, which isn't
directly accessible to a servlet. On the other hand, a servlet has direct
access to server side resources (such as a database) whereas accessing them
from an applet can be fraught with problems.
