You need a servlet to handle the I/O between browser (HTTP) and server. A servlet is simply a Java class and can utilize any of the packages in the API (not that you would want to). For processing and maintaining state, you (generally speaking) use regular Java classes and JavaBeans.
Mark -----Original Message----- From: Carter, Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 3:57 PM When designing a site, for back-end java (java that does not return a HTML page) should you create just regular java classes, or does this need to be java servlets to run properly? Can a servlet take advantage of all the regular APIs of java?
