Slide 3 of 30

Advantages of Web Application

Easier access to information Lower maintenance and deployment costs Platform independency Wider visibility

Slide 4 of 30

Request Message Structure

Slide 5 of 30

Request line This component returns the method, resource

information, such as the type and name, and the HTTP version of the request message.

Slide 6 of 30

Header information This component return the User-Agent along

with the Accept header

Response Message Structure

Slide 8 of 30

Status line This element indicates status of the requested

process

Slide 9 of 30

Header information The header information contains information

such as server, last modified date, content-length and content type.

Request Method

Slide 11 of 30

Limitation of Web Server Overloading error Unavailability due to maintenance Heavy traffic Virus and worm attack

Slide 12 of 30

Servlet

Servlet are java code that are used to add dynamic content to Web Server

Servlet gets auto refreshed on receiving a request each time. A servlet initialisation code is used only for initialising the Servlet for first time.

Slide 14 of 30

Merits of Servlet Enhanced efficiency Ease of use Powerful Portable Safe and Cheap

Slide 15 of 30

Demerits of Servlet Low level HTML documentation UnClear session management

Web Container Concept The web container is a program that manage

execution of servlets and JSP Page

Servlet API – GenericServlet Class

GenericServlet Class implement the Servlet and ServletConfig

Slide 19 of 30

Servlet API – GenericServlet Class Defines a generic, protocol-independent servlet. To write an HTTP servlet for use on

the Web, extend HttpServlet instead. GenericServlet implements the Servlet and ServletConfig interfaces. GenericServlet

may be directly extended by a servlet, although it's more common to extend a protocol-specific subclass such as HttpServlet.

GenericServlet makes writing servlets easier. It provides simple versions of the lifecycle methods init and destroy and of the methods in the ServletConfig interface. GenericServlet also implements the log method, declared in the ServletContext interface.

To write a generic servlet, you need only override the abstract service method.

“HttpServlet” Class The HttpServlet class provider an abstract class

a create an HTTP Servlet. HttpServlet extend the GenericServlet

Two Method process Request– dopost()– doget()

Slide 21 of 30

ServletRequestThis interface is for getting data from the client to

the servlet for a service request getParameter() getAttribute() getContentLength() getInputStream() getServerName()

Slide 22 of 30

HttpServletRequest

HttpServletRequest extend ServletRequest

Slide 23 of 30

Method of HttpServletRequest Interface

getCookies() getHeader() getMethod() getPathInfo() getAuthType() getParametter() getParametterNames() getParametterValues()

Slide 24 of 30

Request Header Accept Accept-Charset Accept-Encoding Accept-Language Authorization

Slide 25 of 30

Request Header getHeader() getHeaders() getHeaderNames()

Slide 26 of 30

“ServletResponse” Interface The ServletResponse interface define methods

that allow you to retrieve an out put stream to send data to the Client

Slide 27 of 30

Method of “ServletResponses” Interface

getContentType() getWriter() getOutputStream() setContentType()

Slide 28 of 30

“HttpServletResponse” Interface

Extend ServletReponse addCookie() addHeader() containtHeader() sendError() Print() sendRedirect() encodeRedirect()
