No: 6 DIGITAL LIBRARY APPLICATIONS IN JAVA USING SERVLET


Date:

AIM:
The aim of this program is to develop a digital library application using Java Servlets to
manage user interactions and session data. It demonstrates how to invoke servlets from HTML
forms, allowing users to interact with the library. Additionally, it uses hidden form fields for
session tracking and counts user visits during a session.

i. To invoke servlets from HTML forms


ii. Session tracking using hidden form fields
iii. Session tracking for counting the number of times visited by the user.

PROCEDURE:
1. Create a new Java Web Project in your IDE (e.g., Eclipse)
2. Ensure the project has support for Servlets and configure a servlet container like Apache
Tomcat.
3. Create an HTML form (login.html) to allow users to interact with the digital library
application.
4. Use form fields to capture user details, such as username, and submit the form to a servlet.\
5. Create a servlet (LibraryServlet.java) to handle the form submission.
6. Retrieve the username from the request and display a welcome message.
7. Implement session tracking by:
a. Using a hidden form field to maintain the username across requests.
b. Counting the number of times the user has accessed the servlet within the session.
8. Deploy the application on the servlet container (e.g., Apache Tomcat).
9. Open index.html in a browser to start interacting with the application.
10. Enter a username and submit the form to see the personalized welcome message and visit
count.
11. Click "Go back to Library" to see the visit count increase.
