 AJP – 22517
CHAPTER 6 ~ SERVLET

• Servlets are the java programs that basically runs on the severs.
• It is managed by the Servlet container.
• Working of Servlet.
• Client requests servlets via web browser.
• Request is sent to web server.
• Server finds requested servlet.
• Servlet gathers relevant information.
• Server builds web page.
• Web page is displayed to client.
• Client's request is satisfied by servlets.

• Lifecycle of Applet:
- Init() : This method is called only when the servlet is loaded into memory for the
first time.
- Service(): The servlets can then read the data provided by the HTTP request with
the help of service() method.
- Destroy(): This method unload the program from the memory.

• Creating Simple Servlet:

- Either we create a servlet implementing Servlet interface or extending a class that
implements Servlet interface.
- For implementing we must include ‘import.javax.servlet.*’
• GenericServlet class: Predefined Servlet interface implementation.
• HttpServlet class: Child class of GenericServlet class.
• Both can be extended in servlet program writing.
- The servlet program receives a client's request for a service, processes it, and
sends a response back to the client using ‘HttpServletRequest’ and
‘HttpServletResponse’
- Its methods are as follows:
1) doGet(): It requests data from the source.
2) doPost(): It submits the processes data to the source.
• The GET request is more efficient than the POST request.
• The GET request is less secure than the POST request.
- This throws ServletException and IOException.
 AJP – 22517
CHAPTER 6 ~ SERVLET

• It uses javax.servlet and javax.servlet.http packages.

a) javax.servlet Package
- This is used to implement the servlet.
- Servlet is the most important interface in this package and every servlet
must implement this interface.
- The interfaces are as follows:-

1) Servlet Interface:
- This interface defines all the lifecycle method of servlet. i.e. init(),
service(), destroy().

2) ServletConfig Interface
- This is used to get various initialization parameters.
 AJP – 22517
CHAPTER 6 ~ SERVLET

3) ServletContext Interface
- This is used to get info about the servlet environment.

4) ServletRequest Interface
- This interface is used to get information about the client.
 AJP – 22517
CHAPTER 6 ~ SERVLET

5) ServletResponse Interface
- It formulates the response for the clients request.

6) Classes:
- Javax.servlet package contains the following classes
 AJP – 22517
CHAPTER 6 ~ SERVLET

7) GenericServletClass
- This is used for implementing the lifecycle of the servlet. It implements
servlet and ServletConfig interfaces.
- It is called "Generic" because it does not assume that the protocol it will
process will be HTTP.

b) Javax.servlet.http package
- This servlet works with HTTP request and response.
- The interfaces and methods are as follows.

1) HTTPServletRequest Interface
- It is use to obtain info from clients http request.
 AJP – 22517
CHAPTER 6 ~ SERVLET

2) HttpServletResponse Interface
- It is used to formulate an HTTP response to the client.

3) HttpSession Interface
- The servlet can read and write the information using HTTPsession
interface.

4) Class Cookie.
- A cookie is a small piece of information that is stored in the client’s
machine.
- Sometimes cookies are useful to keep track of the user using the client
machine.
 AJP – 22517
CHAPTER 6 ~ SERVLET

5) HttpServlet Class
- It extends GenericServlet and is used when developing servlets that receive
and process HTTP requests

6) HttpSessionEvent class

7) HttpSessionBindingEvent class
1. Object getValue() : This function returns the value of bounded or unbounded
attribute.
2. String getName() : This function returns the name being bound or unbound.
3. HttpSession getSession() : This function returns the session to which the listener
can be bound or unbound.
 AJP – 22517
CHAPTER 6 ~ SERVLET

• Cookies
- Cookies are some little information that can be left on your computer by the
other computer when we access an internet.

- public void setMaxAge(int expiry) – Sets the maximum age of the cookie
in seconds.
