If you mean that if Sun hadn't invented servlets (if it really was them who
did so) then no-one else would have done so, then I don't agree. Other
technologies from the mid-1990s provided similar APIs - consider ILU's HTTP
request handler, for example:

ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/ilu/2.0a14/manual-html/manual_13.html#SEC442
