Need of Dynamic Websites

 User Data: Web pages is based upon the user


entered data.
 Web pages is derived from data that changes
frequently
 Web pages interacts with databases

2 types of code is needed
1)Data representation
2)Data generation
4

History: Common Gateway


Interface (CGI)
 Earlier dynamic web pages were developed
with Common Gateway Interface (CGI).
 Web Applications eventually outgrew CGI
because of the following:
 Datasets became large
 Increased traffic on sites

 Trouble maintaining state and session information

 Performance bottlenecks

 Can involve proprietary APIs


5

Servlets

 It is regular Java code. There are new APIs, but no new syntax.
 It has unfamiliar import statements. The servlet and JSP APIs
are separate specification (and are also part of the Java 2
Platform, Enterprise Edition—J2EE).
 It extends a standard class (HttpServlet). Servlets provide a
rich infrastructure for dealing with HTTP.
 It overrides the doGet method. Servlets have different methods
to respond to different types of HTTP commands.
 Servlet Life Cycle: It consist of followings
 The Init method

 The Service method

 The Destroy method


6

Servlet Code: Example (for


displaying Hello World)
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class HelloServlet extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String docType =
"<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 " +
"Transitional//EN\">\n";
out.println(docType +
"<HTML>\n" +
"<HEAD><TITLE>Hello World</TITLE></HEAD>\n" +
"<BODY BGCOLOR=\"#FDF5E6\">\n" +
"<H1>Hello World</H1>\n" +
"</BODY></HTML>");
}
}

JSP Overview

 With a foundation in Java, JSP


 Threads incoming requests
 Supports custom tags.
 Interacts with a wide array of databases
 Serves dynamic content in a persistent and efficient manner
 Initially the server automatically builds, compiles, and starts the servlet,
from then on the servlets are stored in the web server’s memory in Java
byte code
 Extends the same portability, large class library, object-oriented code
methodology, and robust security measures that have made Java a top
choice
 Does not require a Java programmer
 Better separation of Logic and presentation.

JSP - Tags

Tag Name Purpose


1. Declaration tag <%! %> To declare variables & methods
2. Expression tag <%= %> To embed any Java expressions & display any value
3. Directive tag <%@ %> To set condition that applies to the whole JS Page.
4. Scriptlet tag <% %> To write any valid block of Java code
5. Action tag <jsp: > Enable the use of server side Javabeans, transfer control
between pages, browser independent support for applets
6. Comment tag <%-- --%> Tell JSP engine to ignore the code
11

JSP - Example

# Simple Java server


page showing use of
common tags.

# Java is very case


sensitive.
12

JavaBeans
 A JavaBean is a Java Class file that comes with
specifications.
 Defines how to create an Object, retrieve and set properties
of the Object
 It is used to minimize the java code in JSP.
 They are is used to communicate with Database & contain
various logic.
 Syntax: <jsp:useBean id=Bean name class=bean class
scope=page/request/session/application/>
 Syntax for setting value: <jsp:setProperty name=bean
name property=someProperty value=someValue/>

Pros and Cons


 Pros
 Efficient
 Cons
 Secure  Need for a Server Engine
 Another engine to maintain
 Convenient
 Server engines typically have built-  Un-acceptably by the client
in infrastructures to handle machine
parsing/decoding HTML form data,  Virtual hosting of unrelated
reading/setting HTTP headers,
sites on a single machine can
session tracking
cause problems (choose your
 Powerful
server engine wisely)
 Java behind the scene
 High Learning Curve
 Portable
 Steeper learning curve than
 Write once, run anywhere
Cold Fusion
 Inexpensive
 Various free or inexpensive engines
available
