The Java Boutique: Free Java Applets, Games, Programming Tutorials, and Downloads

Servlets provide the means through which Web Applications can be written in Java. What are Web Applications? Web Applications allow a web site to be dynamic rather than straight static pages. In other words, Servlets transform a web site with plain text and images into a rich interactive environment for the user.

Amazon.com is a high profile example of this. Amazon has a proprietary "Web Store" application that they use to sell books and compact discs online.

The attractiveness of such applications is that they are built on the foundations of the World Wide Web. Thus, these applications can be run anywhere in the world at any time and are completely cross platform. All you need to run them is a Web Browser.
