    The document discusses handling HTTP requests in servlets. It provides an example servlet that: 1) Overrides the doGet() method to retrieve login ID and password parameters from an HTML form submission via HTTP GET. 2) Uses the getParameter() method on the HttpServletRequest object to retrieve the parameter values. 3) Writes the login ID and password values to the HttpServletResponse using a PrintWriter. It also provides details on using HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse objects to handle requests and responses in servlets.

    Handling HTTP Requests

    • The doGet () method is invoked by server


    through service () method to handle a HTTP
    GET request.
    • Write a servlet to diaply login id and password
    HTML code
    <HTML>
    <BODY>
    <CENTER>
    <FORM NAME="Form1" METHOD=“get"
    ACTION="ServletGetExample">

    <B>Login ID</B> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="loginid" >

    <B>Password</B> <INPUT TYPE="password" NAME="passw" >


    <INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Submit".>
    </P>
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import javax.servlet.*;
    public class ServletGetExample extends HttpServlet
    {
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws
    ServletException, IOException
    {
    PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
    String login= req.getParameter("loginid");
    String password= req.getParameter("passw");
    out.println("Your login ID is: ");
    out.println(login);
    out.println("Your password is: ");
    out.println(password);
    out.close();
    }
    }
    • In this example, the doGet () method of
    HttpServlet class is overridden to handle the
    HTTP GET request.
    • The two parameters passed to the doGet ()
    method are req and res, the Objects of
    HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse
    interface respectively.
    • The req object allows to read data provided in
    the client request and the res object is used to
    develop Response for the client request.
    • getParameter () method of
    HttpServletRequest interface is used to
    retrieve data attached to the URL sent to the
    server.
    • The string appearing to the right of the
    question mark in URL is known as the query
    string, contains the parameters for the HTTP
    GET request.
    • To handle post request.
    • Use doPost() instead of doGet() method
    Theory related to Servlet
    • Methods in the HttpServlet class that handle
    client requests take two arguments:
    • An HttpServletRequest object, which
    encapsulates the data from the client

    • An HttpServletResponse object, which


    encapsulates the response to the client
    • HttpServletRequest Objects
    • An HttpServletRequest object provides access to HTTP header data, such as any cookies
    found in the request and the HTTP method with which the request was made.
    The HttpServletRequestobject also allows you to obtain the arguments that the client
    sent as part of the request.
    • To access client data:
    • The getParameter method returns the value of a named parameter. If your parameter
    could have more than one value, use getParameterValues instead.
    The getParameterValues method returns an array of values for the named parameter.
    (The method getParameterNames provides the names of the parameters.)

    • For HTTP GET requests, the getQueryString method returns a String of raw data from the
    client. You must parse this data yourself to obtain the parameters and values.

    • For HTTP POST, PUT, and DELETE requests,

    – If you expect text data, the getReader method returns a BufferedReader for you to
    use to read the raw data.
    – If you expect binary data, the getInputStream method returns
    a ServletInputStream for you to use to read the raw data
    • Note: Use either a getParameter[Values] method or one of the methods that allow you
    to parse the data yourself. They can not be used together in a single request.
    • HttpServletResponse Objects
    • An HttpServletResponse object provides two ways of returning data to
    the user:

    • The getWriter method returns a Writer

    • The getOutputStream method returns a ServletOutputStream

    • Use the getWriter method to return text data to the user, and
    the getOutputStream method for binary data.
    • Closing the Writer or ServletOutputStream after you send the
    response allows the server to know when the response is complete.
    • HTTP Header Data
    • You must set HTTP header data before you
    access the Writer or OutputStream.
    The HttpServletResponse class provides
    methods to access the header data. For
    example, the setContentType method sets the
    content type. (This header is often the only
    one manually set.)
