Applets
Applets are applications designed to be transmitted over
the network and executed by Java compatible web browsers.
An Applet is a client side java program that runs within
a Web browser on the client machine.
An applet can use the user interface classes like AWT or
Swing.
Applet Life Cycle Methods: init(), stop(), paint(),
start(), destroy()
Servlets
Servlets are Java based analog to CGI programs,
implemented by means of servlet container associated with an
HTTP server.
Servlet is a server side component which runs on the web
server.
The servlet does not have a user interface.
Servlet Methods: doGet(), doPost()
