Servlet API

Servlet API consists of two important packages that encapsulates all the important
classes and interface, namely :

 javax.servlet
 javax.servlet.http
Some Important Classes and Interfaces of javax.servlet

INTERFACES CLASSES

Servlet ServletInputStream

ServletContext ServletOutputStream

ServletConfig ServletRequestWrapper

ServletRequest ServletResponseWrapper

ServletResponse ServletRequestEvent

ServletContextListener ServletContextEvent

RequestDispatcher ServletRequestAttributeEvent

SingleThreadModel ServletContextAttributeEvent

Filter ServletException

FilterConfig UnavailableException

FilterChain GenericServlet

ServletRequestListener
Some Important Classes and Interface of javax.servlet.http

CLASSES and INTERFACES

HttpServlet HttpServletRequest

HttpServletResponse HttpSessionAttributeListener

HttpSession HttpSessionListener

Cookie HttpSessionEvent
Servlet Interface

In Java, An interface is used for the development of servlet. This interface is known as the servlet inter-
face. This interface is implemented by all the interfaces. The servlet interface is used for the declaration
of init(), service(), and destroy() method. These methods are called by the server during the life cycle of
a servlet. The getServletConfig() method is called by the servlet to initialize the parameters. And the
getServletInfo() method is used for providing important information.
Servlet Interface provides only five methods. Out of these five methods, three methods are of Servlet
life cycle methods and rest two are non-life cycle methods.
Declaration :

public interface Servlet


Methods of Servlet interface

S.No. Method Description

It is used for initializing the


public void init servlet. It is invoked only once by
1.
(ServletConfigconfig) the web container in a servlet life
cycle.
It is used for providing a re-
public void service sponse to all the incoming re-
2. (ServletRequestreq, quest. It is invoked every time by
ServletResponse res) the web container for each re-
quest.
It is used for destroying the
3. public void destroy() servlet. It is invoked only once in
a life cycle of a servlet.

public ServletConfigget- It is used to get the object of


4.
ServletConfig() ServletConfig.

It is used to get information


5. Public String getServletInfo() about writer, copyright etc of a
servlet.

HttpServlet class

HttpServlet is also an abstract class. This class gives implementation of various service() methods
of Servlet interface.

To create a servlet, we should create a class that extends HttpServlet abstract class. The Servlet class
that we will create, must not override service() method. Our servlet class will override only
the doGet() and/or doPost() methods.

The service() method of HttpServlet class listens to the Http methods (GET, POST etc) from request
stream and invokes doGet() or doPost() methods based on Http Method type.

GenericServlet class

In Servlet, GenericServlet is an abstract class. This class implements the servlet, ServletConfig and Se-
rializable interface. This class provides the implementation of most of the basic servlet methods. The
protocol of this class is independent as it can handle any type of request.
Class:

java.io.Serializable, Servlet, ServletConfig


Constructor:

GenericServlet() : this constructor does nothing. Everything is initialized by the init method.
