    Servlets are Java programs that run on a web server and respond to requests from clients. Servlets are controlled and managed by a servlet container like Tomcat. The servlet container loads, initializes, executes servlets and provides request and response objects. There are two main types of servlets - generic servlets and HTTP servlets. Servlets provide a powerful way to develop dynamic web applications and have advantages like portability, efficiency, and extensibility. An example HelloWorld servlet is provided that extends HttpServlet and overrides doGet to print a simple HTML page.

    •Servlet example
    What is servlet?
    • Servlets are server side components that provide a
    powerful mechanism for developing server side
    programs.

    • Servlets provide component-based, platform-


    independent methods for building Web-based
    applications.

    • Servlets run entirely inside the Java Virtual Machine.

    • Servlets are controlled by container.


    Servlet Container
    • A servlet container is nothing but a
    compiled, executable program. The main
    function of the container is to load,
    initialize and execute servlets.

    • Tomcat is one of the example of a


    container.
    Servlet container
    What does container do?
    • It creates an instance of the servlet and calls its init()
    method to initialize it.

    • It constructs a request object to pass to the servlet.

    • It constructs a response object for the servlet.

    • It invokes the servlet service() method, The service


    method dispatches requests to the servlet doGet() or
    doPost() methods, depending on the HTTP header in the
    request (GET or POST).

    • It calls the destroy() method of the servlet to discard it,


    when appropriate, so that it can be garbage collected.
    Lifecycle of servlet
    Servlet Types
    Generic Servlets:
    • It belongs to javax.servlet package 

    • It is a protocol-independent servlet.  

    • To write a GenericServlet you need


    abstract service() to be overridden. 
    Http servlet:

    • It belongs to javax.servlet.http package 

    • It’s direct subclass to GenericServlet

    • A subclass of HttpServlet must override at least


    one method of doGet(), doPost(),doPut(),
    doDelete(), init(), destroy(), getServletInfo()

    • Specifically designed for Http.


    Advantages of Java Servlets

    • Portability.
    • Powerful
    • Efficiency
    • Safety
    • Extensibilty
    • Inexpensive
    Servlet Example
    import java.io.*;
    import javax.servlet.*;
    import javax.servlet.http.*;

    public class HelloWorld extends HttpServlet
    {
     public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse 
    response) throws ServletException,IOException
    {
        response.setContentType("text/html");
        PrintWriter pw = response.getWriter();
        pw.println("<html>");
        pw.println("<head><title>Hello World</title></title>");
        pw.println("<body>");
        pw.println("<h1>Hello World</h1>");
        pw.println("</body></html>");
      }
    }
    Thank you
