Compare and contrast servlets and applets

What will be an ideal response?

Servlets and applets are both Java programs compiled into machine-independent bytecode. Both are interpreted and executed by bytecode interpreters called Java virtual machines. Both are invoked using the HTTP protocol. Servlets, however, are interpreted and executed on the Web server computer. It then sends its results to the user's computer via the response capabilities of HTTP. Applets, on the other hand, are interpreted and executed on the user's computer. The bytecode for the applet is transmitted via HTTP to the user's computer, where the Java virtual machine will interpret and execute it locally.
