In: Computer Terminology, Computer Programming

[Edit]

Answer

Applet is a part of Core JAVA and Servlet of Advance Java. Applet is client side program and Servlet is Server side. When Applet runs it take the resources of client whereas Servlet is processed at server.

An Applet's class, jar files can be accessed and downloadable by client but not so in case of servlet.

Applets can run under any web browser their execution is dependent on Client as they require JRE Whereas Servlets do not require any thing specific at client side, as they require java enabled web/application Server.
