What Are Java Servlets

Java servlets are programs that run on a web server and provide dynamic web page content. They allow web pages to be built based on user input data and can change frequently. Servlets are more efficient, easier to use, powerful, and portable than traditional CGI scripts. JavaServer Pages (JSP) were later developed to simplify adding dynamic content to web pages by allowing Java code and HTML code to be combined in the same file. The key components of a basic web services architecture include XML for data format, UDDI for service publication and discovery, WSDL for service description, and SOAP for message communication over HTTP.

What are Java Servlets?

An extremely popular Java substitute for CGI


scripts.
They are programs to be run on a web server.
The web page is based on the data submitted by
the user.
More efficient, easier to use, Powerful and
Portable.

Java Servlets

They are Java application programs that are


resident on the server and are alternatives to CGI
programs.
Java Servlets allow you to build
Web page based on the users input data
Web page that changes frequently

More efficient, easier to use, more powerful and


portable.

Servlets Advantages

Platform and vendor independence


Supported by all the major web servers

Integration
Take advantages of all the Java technologies, JDBC,
Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB).

Efficiency
A single process that runs until the servlet-based
application is shut down.

Scalability extremely scalable.


Robustness and security
A strongly typed programming language.

Servlet Example

What is JSP?

It is JavaServer Pages that built on top of Java servlets in


late 1999.
In the early days of the Web, the only tool for developing
dynamic web content was CGI. For every request, the web
server creates a process (not efficient).
The Java Servlet API has introduced in 1997, however,
HTML code has to be embedded inside programs. (lot of
out.println())
JSP provides a development model for the web authors to
experience all the server-side technologies.

Java Servlet & JSP
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class HelloWorld extends HttpServlet {

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Hello</TITLE>
</HEAD>

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)


throws ServletException, IOException {
res.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();

<BODY>
<H1>
<%
out.println("<HEAD><TITLE>Hello World</TITLE></HEAD>");
if (request.getParameter("name") == null)
out.println("<BODY>");
{
out.println("<BIG>Hello World</BIG>");
out.println("Hello World");
} else {
out.println("</BODY></HTML>");
out.println("Hello, " + request.getParameter("name"));
}
}
}
%>
