I guess the issue here is what exactly they mean by "Netscape's
equivalent to servlets". For example, "equivalent to" could mean
"substitute for", or "implementation of" (pretty sure it's not the
latter).

Again, it's not clear what exactly this means. Does it mean that you
need to download the JSDK? I would think that would be problematic,
because you might use a different version of the JSDK than Netscape
does (i.e. for compile-time vs. run-time), and then you have to worry
about MethodNotFound's and such. Netscape's server has to have a
jar/zip file somewhere that includes their JSDK support, and you'd
probably want to use that to compile against as well.

This agrees with what I said (and supports the idea that server-side
applets are something entirely different than servlets.
