Nonsense, an applet is a client. The only "server-side" thing about it 
is that it's code was delivered by a server. Following that reasoning an 
image or a any piece of JavaScript on a web page is also server side.

An Applet has no security of it's own. Only when run as part of a web 
page does the user agent impose well defined limitations on the runtime 
running the untrusted Applet. This is done to protect the client system 
from being harmed by the Applet, not to protect the Applet from the 
outer world. As such the security is part of the user agent, not the Applet.
