Java and the Internet

If Java is, in fact, yet another computer programming language, you may question why it is so important and why it is being promoted as a revolutionary

step in computer programming. The answer isn ’ t immediately obvious if you coming from a traditional programming perspective. Although Java is very useful for solving traditional stand-alone programming problems, it is also important because it will solve programming problems on the World Wide Web.

1. Client-side programming

The Web’ s intial server-browser design provided for interactive content, but

the interactivity was completely provided by the server. The server produced

static pages for the client

browser, which would

simply interpret and display

them. Basic HTML contains simple mechanisms for data gathering: text-entry

boxes, check boxes, radio boxes, lists and drop-down lists, as well as a button

that can only be programmed to reset the data on the form or

“ submit ”

on the form back to the server. This submission passesthrough the Common

Gateway Interface (CGI)

provided on all Web servers. The text within

the

submission tells CGI what

to do with it. The most

common action is to run a

program located on the server in a directory that

’ s typically-bin. ”called(If

you watch the address window

at the top of your browser when you push a

button on a Web page, you

can sometimes see “ cgi-bin ”within all

the

gobbledygook there.) These programs can be written in most languages. Perl is a common choice because it is designed for text manipulation and is interpreted, so it can be installed on any server regardless of processor or operating system.

Many powerful Web sites today are built strictly on CGI, and you can in fact do nearly anything with it. However, Web sites built on CGI programs can rapidly become overly complicated to maintain, and there is also the problem of response time. The response of a CGI program depends on how much data must
