Explanation

A Java applet is a small application designed to run in a web browser. It is sent to the user via HTTP, invoked on the user's computer using the HTTP protocol, and executes as an application within the browser's JVM. A Java application runs standalone, not via HTTP. A Java servlet runs on the server side, not the client side.
