• Web Server:
• Web content lives on web servers.

• Web servers speak the HTTP protocol also called HTTP

servers.

• Web servers store the Internet’s data and provide the

data when it is requested by HTTP clients.

• The clients send HTTP requests to servers, and servers

return the requested data in HTTP responses.

and display the objects on your screen.

that interacts with Java servlets.

• Manages the life cycle of servlets;

• It maps a URL to a particular servlet while ensuring

that the requester has relevant access-rights.

• Servlet:
• Java programs that runs on the Java-enabled web
server or application server.

• They are used to handle the request obtained from

the web server, process the request, produce the
response, then send response back to the web server.

• Properties of Servlets:
– Servlets work on the server-side.

– Servlets are capable of handling complex requests

obtained from web server.

• Execution of Servlets:
1. The clients send the request to the web server.
2. The web server receives the request.
3. The web server passes the request to the
corresponding servlet.
4. The servlet processes the request and generates the
response in the form of output.
5. The servlet sends the response back to the web server.
6. The web server sends the response back to the client
and the client browser displays it on the screen.

• Java Server Pages (JSP)

– A server-side programming technology that enables
the creation of dynamic, platform-independent
method for building Web-based applications.

– JSP have access to the entire family of Java APIs,

including the JDBC API to access enterprise
databases.

• JavaBeans
– In computing based on the Java Platform, JavaBeans
are classes that encapsulate many objects into a
single object.

– They are serializable, have a zero-argument

constructor, and allow access to properties using
getter and setter methods.
