Yes. You are.
Servlets are just a web platform... they don't affect the client at
all.
A servlet is analagous to a CGI script.

Yes you do.

Errr... Swing is platform independant as long as you have the right
platform /8->
Things you can do to try and fix Swing:
- use Mozilla on Linux
- upgrade your Linux distrib
- try and get it working on Windows (it *is* a pain to get working
just generally).
My personal recommendation is to not use Swing at all but to use the
web the way it was designed to be used.
I'm available for consultancy at very competitive rates /8->
