What is the correct way to do server-side Java?

For Enterprise Server 2.0 users, Netscape Server Applets are your only choice. For Enterprise Server 3.0, however, the Server Applet API has been deprecated; although it will still be available, it will no longer be supported. There are two recommended new choices:

• You can do a hybrid server-side Java/JavaScript implementation, and use LiveConnect to connect the server-side Java and server-side JavaScript. JavaScript should used to intercept the HTTP request, and the Java should only be used for computations and for generating results. The JavaScript can then return the result in its usual server-side way.

• You can use the Web Application Interface (WAI), a CORBA-based infrastructure, in which you develop a Java standalone application that registers as an HTTP handler and responds to HTTP and CGI-type requests. There is a Java API in WAI in ES3.0.
