The June 97 electronic issue of Byte has an article on servelets.  Their
web guy seems to like them.

   http://www.byte.com/art/9706/sec8/art1.htm

Basically servelets are a Java API for classes that serve the same
function as CGI.  The idea is that they work with any Java web server
that supports the interface.

He also points out a couple of minimal Java web servers that support
servelets without a lot of baggage.
