Introduction Servlet Architecture Servlet lifecycle Request and Response Being a Web Container Session management Overview of JSP JSP Elements Q&A

Introduction request-response model

Request-response model.
HTTP Request

request Server
<html> <head> <html> <body> <head> <body>

Client response
HTTP HTML

Introduction what is a request and response

HTTP Request
Key elements of a request stream: HTTP method (action to be performed).

HTTP Response
Key elements of a response stream: A status code (for whether the request was successful).

The page to access (a URL).


Form parameters.

Content-type (text, picture, html, etc).


The content ( the actual content).

Introduction What is a Servlet

Where does Servlet come into the picture?


I can serve only static HTML pages Web Server Application Not a problem. I can handle dynamic requests.

Helper Application
Web Server machine

The Helper Application is nothing but a SERVLET

Servlet Architecture -Web Container

What is a Web Container?


request
GET. .. GET. .. GET. ..

Web Server

Servlet Architecture Web Container

How does the Container handle a request?


Servlet response
Web Server

Http request

Client

response

<Html> <Body> . </Body> </Html>

Service() doGet()

Servlet Architecture Web Container


The CONTAINER

What is the role of Web Container ?


Communication Support Lifecycle Management Multi-threading support Security JSP Support
The container can contain multiple Servlets & JSPs within it S3 S1

S2

JSP1

S4

Servlet Architecture Deployment Descriptor How does the Container know which Servlet the client has requested for? A Servlet can have 3 names Client known URL name Deployer known secret internal name Actual file name

<web-app> <servlet> <servlet-name>LoginServ</servlet-name> <servlet-class>com.Login</servlet-class> </servlet>


<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>LoginServ</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/Logon</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> .. .. </web-app> Web.xml

Servlet Lifecycle

The Servlet lifecycle is simple, there is only one main state Initialized.
Does not exist

constructor() destroy() init()

Initialized Service()

Servlet Lifecycle - Hierarchy


Interface

Servlet

Abstract class

GenericServlet

If not overridden, implements init() method from the Servlet interface,

Abstract class

HttpServlet

If not overridden, implements service() method.

Concrete class

Your Servlet

We implement the HTTP methods here.

Servlet Lifecycle 3 big moments

When is it called

What its for

Do you override it

init()

The container calls the init() before the servlet can service any client requests. When a new request for that servlet comes in.

To initialize your servlet before handling any client requests.

Possibly

service()

To determine which HTTP No. Very unlikely method should be called.

doGet() or doPost()

The service() To handle the method invokes it business logic. based on the HTTP method from the request.

Always

Servlet Lifecycle Thread handling The Container runs multiple threads to process multiple requests to a single servlet.
Container

Client A Servlet

Client B

response

response

Request and Response GET v/s POST

The HTTP request method determines whether doGet() or doPost() runs.


GET (doGet())
The request contains only the request line and HTTP header.

POST (doPost())
Along with request line and header it also contains HTTP body.

HTTP Request

Parameter passing
Size

The form elements are passed to the server by appending at the end of the URL.
The parameter data is limited (the limit depends on the container) GET is Idempotent Generally used to fetch some information from the host.

The form elements are passed in the body of the HTTP request.
Can send huge amount of data to the server. POST is not idempotent Generally used to process the sent data.

Idempotency Usage

Request and Response The response

Request

Can the Servlet Serve the request?

No

Does the Servlet know Who can serve?

No

Yes Yes

Send resource

Send Redirect Request Dispatcher Error page

Being a Web Container Servlet Config and Context


Servlet Context

Servlet 1

Servlet 2

Servlet 3

Servlet Config

Being a Web Container init parameters

What are init parameters? Difference between Servlet Context and Config Init parameters
Context Init Parameters Scope Scope is Web Container Servlet Init Parameters Specific to Servlet or JSP

Servlet code
Deployment Descriptor

getServletContext()

getServletConfig()

Within the <web-app> element Within the <servlet> element but not within a specific for each specific servlet <servlet> element

Being a Web Container - Attributes

What exactly, is an attribute? Difference between Attributes and parameters


Attributes Types Context Request Session setAttribute(String, Object) Object getAttribute(String) Parameters Context Request Servlet Init We cannot set Init parameters.

Method to set Return type Method to get

String getInitParameter (String)

Session Management Session Tracking How sessions work?


1 request, dark Client A new 2
ID# 42 dark

HttpSession

response, ID# 42 setAttribute(dark) 4 3 Container

ale #42

ID# 42 dark

Client A

1 request, ale, ID# 42 2 Container

HttpSession

Session Tracking Cookies


Heres your cookie with session ID inside

HttpSession session = request.getSession();

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=0ABS

Client A

Content-Type: text/html Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 <html> </html>

OK, heres the cookie with my request

HTTP Response

Container

POST / login.do HTTP/1.1 Cookie: JSESSIONID=0ABS


Accept: text/html

Client A HTTP Request Container

Session Tracking URL Rewriting

URL
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

;jsessionid=1234567
Container

Client A

Content-Type: text/html Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 <html> <body> < a href = http:// www.sharmanj.com/Metavante;jsessionid=0AAB> click me </a> </html>

HTTP Response
GET /Metavante;jsessionid=0AAB
HTTP / 1.1 Host: www.sharmanj.com Accept: text/html

Client A

HTTP Request

JSP Overview - Servlets v/s JSPs


JSPs : Java within HTML Presentation logic

Servlets : HTML within Java business logic public void doGet(request, response) { PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); String name = request.getParameter(name); out.println(<html><body>); out.println("Hello + name); out.println(</body></html>); }

<html> <body> <% String name = request.getParameter(name); %> Hello <%= name %> </body> </html>

JSP Overview - What is a JSP

In the end, a JSP is just a Servlet.


Is translated to writes JSP MyJsp.jsp
Import javax. servlet. HttpServlet.*

Compiles to
0010 0001 1100 1001 0001 0011

Is loaded and Initialized as Servlet MyJsp_jsp Servlet

MyJsp_jsp.java MyJsp_jsp.class

JSP Elements

Scriptlets
<% int I = 10; %> <% Dog d = new Dog(); %>

= out.println(i); Expressions
<%= i %> <%= d.getName() %>

= out.println(d.getName());

Declarations
<%! int i=10; %> <%! void display() { System.out.println(Hello); } %>

Directives
Pages - <%@ page import=foo.*, bar.* %> include - <%@ include file=/foo/myJsp.jsp %> taglib - <%@ taglib uri=Tags prefix=cool %>

JSP Elements JSP to Servlet Where does the JSP code land in the Servlet?
<%@ page import=foo.* %> <html> <body> <% int i = 10; %> <%! int count = 0; %> Hello! Welcome <%! Public void display() { out.println(Hello); } %> import javax.servlet.HttpServlet.* import foo.*; public class MyJsp_jsp extends HttpServlet { int count = 0; public void display() { out.println(Hello); } public void _jspService(req, res) { int i = 0; out.println(<html>\r<body>); out.println(Hello! Welcome); } }

</body> </html>
