Detailed Description:

"Let's first consider how to improve the experience of a web browser user. Java provides execution on your web pages. In the past, most web pages could only take information and display it. This information was taken straight off the web server and typically was just a static ASCII file. With Java, the byte code is taken from the server and run on the local client machine. For example, in the past, you could do some processing, for example, if you included forms with a web page. But now with Java, instead of doing server-side (forms) processing, you now can do client-side processing. And that aids the server by unloading it. Java also provides a better, richer feel to the user's web pages."
