servlet
Java web handler
A servlet is a Java program that runs on a web server, processing requests and generating responses—typically handling form submissions, database queries, or dynamic page content.
Servlets extend server capabilities the way applets once extended browsers.
The term blends "server" and "applet": The servlet validates user input before writing to the database.
