The document explains the role of interfaces and classes in J2EE development, particularly in servlets and JSPs. It describes how servlets extend the HttpServlet class and implement the Servlet interface for handling HTTP requests, while JSPs utilize Java classes and expression language for dynamic content generation. Overall, it emphasizes the importance of interfaces and classes in achieving modularity, reusability, and separation of concerns in web applications.

Interfaces and classes

01 July 2023 19:56

Certainly! I'll explain how interfaces and classes are used in servlets and JSPs (JavaServer Pages) in the
context of J2EE. I'll provide a suitable example with step-by-step code explanations.

Interfaces and classes are fundamental building blocks in J2EE development. They are used extensively
in servlets and JSPs to implement different functionalities and provide modular and reusable
components.

Servlets:
Servlets are Java classes that extend the javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet class and handle HTTP requests
and responses. Here's how interfaces and classes are used in servlet development:
HttpServlet: The HttpServlet class is an abstract class that provides the basic framework for handling
HTTP requests. Servlet classes typically extend this class to implement the doGet(), doPost(), or other
HTTP methods.

Servlet interface: The javax.servlet.Servlet interface defines the methods that a servlet must implement.
It includes methods like init(), destroy(), and service() to handle the servlet's lifecycle and request
processing.

Example code snippet:

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.IOException;

public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {


protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws
IOException {
// Servlet implementation
// ...
}
}

JSPs (JavaServer Pages):


JSPs are text-based documents that combine HTML, XML, and Java code to dynamically generate web
pages. Interfaces and classes are used in JSPs as follows:
JSP page directive: The <%@ page %> directive allows you to import Java classes and specify additional
attributes for the JSP page.

JSP expression language (EL): The JSP EL allows you to embed Java expressions in JSPs using ${} syntax. It
can be used to access properties and methods of Java objects, including interfaces and classes.

Custom Java classes: You can create custom Java classes and use them in JSPs to encapsulate business
logic and provide reusable components.
Example code snippet:

<%@ page import="com.example.MyClass" %>


<html>
<body>
<h1>Current date and time: ${myClass.getCurrentDateTime()}</h1>
</body>
</html>
In this example, we import a custom Java class MyClass into the JSP using the @ page import directive.
We then utilize an instance of MyClass to call the getCurrentDateTime() method using the JSP EL.

Interfaces and classes play a crucial role in the separation of concerns, modularity, and reusability in
J2EE development. They help define contracts, implement behavior, and promote loose coupling
between different components of a web application.
