HTTP is the application layer protocol in TCP, the industry polular protocol over OSI seven layer model.

HTTP ultimately uses sockets over TCP/IP for communication. Using HTTP we communicate by using an URL which has http as the protocol, hostname, port no (normally 80 and automatically added by the browser) and the resource. Example is http: // 192.168.0.2 :80 / index.htm

In case you want to avoid using servlet, you have to write your own services in JAVA using sockets (lower level components) and also RFC.
