servlet. A server-side Java program that any World-Wide Web browser can access. It
inherits scalability and persistence from the Pathway CGI server that manages it.
The Java class named servlets runs in server environments such as World-Wide Web
servers. The Servlet API is defined in a draft standard by Sun Microsystems.
session. A context for JMS clients to send and receive messages.
