In many situations a Java applet might be considered are client
application, since it not natively installed on all computers. For
e.g. If I go to a library internet kiosk, and try to connect to a SSL
VPN, it will prompt me to d/l the Java Applet, and depending on the
security level of the kiosk, it will most probably NOT allow me to d/l
this applet. Thus preventing me from accessing the SSL VPN.
