(Page 1 of 10 )
Java servlets are making headlines these days, claiming to solve many of the problems associated with CGI and proprietary server API's. In this article Nakul describes the overall servlet architecture and what you need to develop a web application using servlets. He uses several coding examples to show you how to use the servlet API and compares it with CGI and proprietary server API's.Java servlets are making headlines these days, claiming to solve many of the problems associated with CGI and proprietary server APIs. In this article I will describe the overall servlet architecture and what you need to develop your application with servlets. I will use several code examples to show you how to use the Servlet API, and compare it with CGI and proprietary server APIs where appropriate.
I assume that you're familiar with HTTP and CGI or a proprietary server API like NSAPI or ISAPI. I also assume that you are somewhat familiar with Java programming or some other object-oriented language, such as C++. Even if you're not a Java programmer, then you should be able to appreciate the benefits of servlets after you’ve read this article.
