Internet applications written in the Java programming language are mostly designed as applets that run in a Java enabled browser like Netscape.
There are, however, still many web-browser around that don't support Java. These need to use CGI (Common Gateway Interface) to access interactive pages on the web. Although CGI programs traditionally were realized using a scripting language like Perl or even the Bourne shell, nothing speaks against using Java to write CGI program.
