Hello,
I did
a search on google for file and extensions which generated many hits including these two that looked like promising places to get file type descriptions:
http://filext.com/ http://extsearch.com/ Now, if you're wanting to learn about servlets, perhaps one good place to start would be the servlets forum:
http://www.javaranch.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum&f=7 A web browser or an applet viewer are both capable of viewing
Java applets that are referred to through a web page. The Java applets were coded by the programmer in a file(s) with the
.java extension and then compiled into a bytecode file(s) with the
.class extension.
The web browser is also used to view (browse) web pages written in
hypertext markup language - text files with the
.htm or
.html extension. When "viewing" a web page with the applet viewer, it will strip out everything except any applets that are referred to by the web page.
Java applications are also programmed initially in a
.java file(s) and then compiled into a bytecode file(s) with the
.class extension. Java applications run more like regular executable files, but "on top" of the JVM on a given computer.
Good Luck,
