Servlets
• Replace Common Gateway Interface Scripts
• Extend Server Functionality
• Modules (software components)
• Like applets to browsers
• No GUI
Versus CGI
• Easier to Write
• Faster to Run
• Platform Independence
• Handle HTTP Client Requests
• HTML Forms
Setup
• javax.servlet 2.4• http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/
• Servlet Capable Web Server
What is a Servlet?
• Servlet interface defines methods that manage servlet and its communication with clients
• Servlet implements Servlet interface• Extends a conveniance class (GenericServlet
or HTTPServlet)• Client Interaction: When it accepts call,
service method receives two objects– ServletRequest– ServletResponse
Architecture
Http
• The service method of HttpServlet dispatches a request to different Java methods for different HTTP request methods.
• The recognized methods are GET, HEAD, PUT, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS and TRACE.
• An HTTP method XXX is dispatched to a Java method doXxx, e.g. GET -> doGet.
• All these methods expect the parameters "(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)".

ServletRequest Interface
• Encapsulates communication from client to server
• Parameters passed by client, protocol used by client, names of remote host, and server
• ServletInputStream for data transfer from client to server using HTTP POST and PUT
• HttpServletRequest access HTTP header info
ServletResponse Interface
• Methods for replying to client
• Set content length and MIME type of reply
• ServletOutputStream and a Writer to send data
• HttpServletResponse protocol specific
Http Specifics
• MIME: Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension to identify file type
• GET/POST/PUT: Ways that browser sends form data to the server
• Persistent Sessions
• Cookies
public class SimpleServlet extends HttpServlet {
/** * Handle the HTTP GET method by building a simple web page. */
public void doGet (HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
PrintWriter out; String title = "Simple Servlet Output";
// set content type and other response header fields first response.setContentType("text/html");
// then write the data of the response out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>"); out.println(title); out.println("</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>"); out.println("<H1>" + title + "</H1>"); out.println("<P>This is output from SimpleServlet."); out.println("</BODY></HTML>"); out.close(); }
}
• Subclass HttpServlet• Override doGet()• User Request encapsulated in
HttpServletRequest object• Response encapsulated in
HttpServletResponse object• Use output stream from
HttpServletResponse
Interacting with Clients
• Requests and Responses
• Header Data
• Get Requests
• Post Requests
• Threading
• Servlet Descriptions
• Handle requests through service method (calls doGet())
• HttpServletRequest Objects– getParameter returns value of named
parameter– getParameterValues if more than one
value– getParameterNames for names of
parameters– getQueryString for HTTP GET returns
string of raw data from client. Must parse.– HTTP POST, PUT, DELETE Requests
• Text: getReader returns BufferedReader• Binary: getInputStream returns ServletInputStream
• HttpServletResponse Object– getWriter returns a Writer for text– getOutputStream returns ServletOutputStream for binary
– Set header data before above IO set– setContentType in header
