title: Client Side Java Web technologies
body: <p>I have a bunch of shell scripts on every client machine. I need a web interface to provide settings for these scripts and it should invoke these scripts. </p>
  
  <p>If i run a web application from a server to run scripts, it will overload the server due to multiple client requests, so client side web app is preferred.</p>
  
  <p>Applets can solve this. But, it is outdated and I dont like it. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any other new/good technologies to do such client side computing ?</p>
