Lesson 1:Introduction
to Java Servlets
Objectives
• Describe the differences between servlets and other Web application technologies
• Explain the difference between the GET and POST methods of making an HTTP request
• Create a simple servlet using GET• Create a simple servlet using POST• Define a simple deployment descriptor
Introductionto Web Applications
• Web application technologies– Common Gateway Interface (CGI)– Server extensions– Server-side scripting– JavaServer Pages– Java servlets
HypertextTransfer Protocol
• The GET method• The POST method• Additional methods
Writing aSimple Servlet
javax.servlet.Servlet
GenericServlet HttpServlet
Respondingto Form Data
• FormServlet• getParameter method• Using the POST method
DeploymentDescriptors
• XML files conforming to Sun Microsystems DTD– Describes servlets contained within a Web
application
Summary
Describe the differences between servlets and other Web application technologies
Explain the difference between the GET and POST methods of making an HTTP request
Create a simple servlet using GET Create a simple servlet using POST Define a simple deployment descriptor

Lesson 2:The Servlet Life Cycle
Objectives
• Describe the servlet life cycle• Create init and destroy methods• Retrieve servlet initialization parameters• Use the SingleThreadModel interface• Retrieve CGI environment variables• Retrieve and use the ServletContext object• Use temporary files
TheMultithreaded Model
• Servlets typically operate in a multithreaded environment– The Web server usually instantiates only
one instance of a servlet to serve all clients• Deployment descriptors and the multithreaded
model
TheSingle Thread Model
• The Web server guarantees that no two threads will ever operate concurrently on the same servlet instance
• To designate servlets to use the single thread model, implement the following interface:– javax.servlet.SingleThreadModel
The initand destroy Methods
• The init method– Initialization parameters and the
deployment descriptor• The destroy method
CGIEnvironment Variables
• AUTH_TYPE• CONTENT_LENGTH• CONTENT_TYPE• HTTP_ACCEPT• HTTP_REFERER• HTTP_USER_AGENT• PATH_INFO• PATH_TRANSLATED• QUERY_STRING
• REMOTE_ADDR• REMOTE_HOST• REMOTE_USER• REQUEST_METHOD• SCRIPT_NAME• SERVER_NAME• SERVER_PROTOCOL• SERVER_PORT
The ServletContext
• Methods for obtaining server information• Using temporary files
Summary
Describe the servlet life cycle Create init and destroy methods Retrieve servlet initialization parameters Use the SingleThreadModel interface Retrieve CGI environment variables Retrieve and use the ServletContext object Use temporary files

Lesson 3:Responding to a Request
Objectives
• Use client-side caching• Use client pull to update a client• Redirect the client to another URL• Use persistent connections• Use response status codes• Return a file to a client• Dynamically generate images
Controllingthe Client
• Using client-side caching• Using client pull• Redirecting the client
PersistentConnections
public class PersistentConnection extends HttpServlet{
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse resp)throws ServletException, IOException
{resp.setBufferSize(32 * 1024);resp.setContentType("text/html");PrintWriter out = resp.getWriter();
// Generate a response}
}
Status Codes
• Status code constants• sendError method used to set status code
Multimedia Content
• Returning a file• Dynamically generating images
Summary
Use client-side caching Use client pull to update a client Redirect the client to another URL Use persistent connections Use response status codes Return a file to a client Dynamically generate images

Lesson 4:Servlet Sessions
Objectives
• Track a session using hidden form fields• Track a session using URL rewriting• Track a session using cookies
HiddenForm Fields
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="SID" VALUE="1234567890">
Hidden form field named "SID" with an assigned value of
"1234567890"
URLRewriting
• Servlets can build URLS that add information in the form of additional path information
Cookies
• Small pieces of information transmitted from a Web server to a Web browser
• Represented in Java using the Cookie class
Summary
Track a session using hidden form fields Track a session using URL rewriting Track a session using cookies

Lesson 5:Authentication
and Security
Objectives
• Authenticate a user using HTTP-based authentication
• Authenticate a user using a form• Use Secure Sockets Layer to improve security
HTTP-BasedAuthentication
• Users• The deployment descriptor• Servlets and authentication
FormAuthentication
• Requires modification of the deployment descriptor– The login-config element must be
modified to indicate that form authentication is to be used and to provide the URL for a login page and login error page
Summary
Authenticate a user using HTTP-based authentication
Authenticate a user using a form Use Secure Sockets Layer to improve security

Lesson 6:Inter-Servlet
Communication
Objectives
• Share data with another servlet• Handle a single request using multiple
servlets
Sharing Data
• Data-sharing methods of the ServletContext interface
• Sharing data with another ServletContext
Dispatchingto Another Servlet
• The forward method• The include method
Summary
Share data with another servlet Handle a single request using multiple
servlets

Lesson 7:Building EnterpriseWeb Applications
Objectives
• Use JNDI to look up EJBs, resource factories and environment entries
• Write servlets for use in a distributed environment
• Use JavaMail to send e-mail
Java Servlets and JNDI
• Referencing EJBs• Referencing resource factories• Referencing environment entries
Clusteringand Java Servlets
• Clustering styles• Developing distributable servlets
JavaMail
• Add-on API that creates a full-fledged POP/iMAP client– Session class– getDefaultInstance static method
Summary
Use JNDI to look up EJBs, resource factories and environment entries
Write servlets for use in a distributed environment
Use JavaMail to send e-mail

Lesson 8:Internationalization
Objectives
• Use the Unicode escape sequence to specify special Latin characters
• Use alternative character sets to generate a non-Latin character response
The LatinCharacter Set
• Non-English Latin characters• Languages and language codes
Non-LatinCharacter Sets
• Arabic• Chinese• Japanese• Korean• Russian
Summary
Use the Unicode escape sequence to specify special Latin characters
Use alternative character sets to generate a non-Latin character response
