Java is an object-oriented, platform-independent, open-source programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. Java applets are programs written in Java that are embedded in other applications, typically a Web page. Java servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSPs) are server-side components written in Java that handle requests from Web clients.
