4.2  Server application – Client web browser (using HTML and telnet) 

 

  

In this method, the server is a Java application and the client is a web browser like Netscape navigator. The 

user enters the URL/IP address of the server and is connected to HTTP daemon (HTTPD) web server on 

the server machine that loads the HTML file onto the client’s machine. This file provides part of the GUI 

and connects to the concurrent Java server using Java’s telnet applet. The advantage here is that the client’s 

machine only needs a web bro wser to be able to connect to the server.  Moreover, any changes to the client 

can be made easily as the actual program lies on the server machine itself and is easily accessible by the 

administrator.
