/**
* This is an ugly servlet. This is code that you MUST NOT write (even if it is
* generated by the Netbeans wizard). The problem with this class is that it
* does not follow the MVC design pattern. The servlet generates the HTML code
* itself. This has the following disadvantages:
*
* - Poor separation of concerns: you want software developers to work
* independently from web designers. Having HTML produced in Java code is
* terrible for that.
*
* - Poor readability: it clutters Java code (poor readability for developers)
* and it does not allow to use a web design tool (poor for designers).
*
* - Poor maintainability: this implementation forces you to recompile and
* redeploy the application for any change in the UI. You will lose time. Your
* IT and your users will hate you (because it will impact service
* availability).
