No, the servlet files are placed on a webserver that utilizes something akin to Apache + Tomcat for running the JVM. Then, it's accessed similar to a CGI or ASP or PHP script, where the web server does all the processing and returns result output in the form of a webpage (HTML).

It is somewhat similar to the interface being used over at fwtwr.com, but is a better interface IMO. ;-)

By contrast, the Swing UI is intended to be more along the lines of Colossus, the Java clone of Titan ( http://colossus.sourceforge.net ).
