Re: Creating a Client Webpage with embedded Java

I should have added that JSP (Java Server Pages) also aren't in vogue anymore.  These days, a typical web application will have the browser-/client-side written in HTML/CCS/Javascript (or a Javascript-based framework that uses those) and a web server component (e.g. written in Java or whatever is preferred) that exposes an HTTP-based API for the data the front-end reads or wants to write.

Perhaps you're talking about Java Server Pages (JSP) - with that technology, you can create text files that contain HTML (and maybe Javascript)  and Java code to provide the dynamic content for that HTML.  When someone on a browser asks for that file, the java in that file gets executed and the then completed 'web page' gets returned to the browser.

As someone else pointed out, those are pretty much dead/deprecated technologies and you probably shouldn't try to use those in a new web-based application.
