Nope. Servlet parameters come in via HTTP requests, so typically the
client is a browser. It can also be a program, but in any case,
parameters come from one of two places:
1. The query string on the url, http://www.foo.com?blat=foop&x=y
2. The body of POST, such as HTML form fields.
I highly recommend getting Jason Hunter's book -- check out
http://www.servlets.com/.
