Servlets vs. applets

The answer number 1 and 2 is correct as applet is a program written in Java that embeds in HTML page. It is run on the browser and can be used to view the web page containing the applet. Whereas servlet is a Java program which improves/ extend the functionalities of a server.

When an applet is viewed the code is transferred to the user computer and executed on JVM (Java Virtual Machine). Whereas in case of servlets the server should be accessed by the host applications using the request-response model.

Applets provide the user interactive features that might not be possible to provide using only HTML. Whereas servlets don't provide any GUI based features as it involves server side scripting.
