A servlet is not a standalone class that you can run with just the java
command. It needs to run in a servlet engine, like the one included with
JSDK 2.1, and be invoked from a browser through HTTP. Applets also need a
runtime environment, but in this case it's provided by the browser.
I suggest you spend a bit of time learning about servlet basics. It will
save you time in the long run. You can start with Sun's Tutorial, available
at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
