    Swing is not the right technology for this. What you are interested in
    is servlets and JSPs. You will need a servlet container for them to run
    in; try Tomcat from apache.org for a freely available one to get you
    started. Use the tutorials on java.sun.com to get started on servlets
    and JSPs. (Although the servlet API is pretty straightforward, if you
    are a seasoned programmer you can probably get it going right away.)
