Week 6 • Servlets and JSP • Larman Controller Principle • Fowler Front Controller • GoF Command pattern • Java reflection to instantiate Command
Servlets, The General Idea • Applet as a client side Java application. • Servlet as a server side technology for implementing part of the functionality of an application. • HTTP (URL) requests cause a servlet to be: • Instantiated (if it did not exist). • Run. • The servlet builds a response which is then sent back to the client (usually in the form of HTML).
Servlet: HelloWeb public class HelloWebServlet extends HttpServlet { protected void doGet( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException { ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream(); out.println("Hello Web!"); } }
Java Server Page • Servlet: • Embed HTML inside code. • JSP • Embed code inside HTML.
HelloWeb.jsp <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" language="java" ... %> <html> <body> Hello Web! </body> </html>
Hello.jsp <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" language="java" ... %> <html> <body> Hello <%= request.getParameter("name") %> </body> </html>
Java Server Page • Implemented as a (special kind of) servlet.
PATTERN: Controller • What object in the domain (or application coordination layer) receives requests for work from the UI layer?
PATTERN: Controller (Larman 17.13) Problem: What object in the domain (or application coordination layer) receives requests for work from the UI layer? System operations (see SSD): major input events to the system The controller is the first object beyond the UI layer that is responsible for receiving or handling a system operations message. Note that UI objects delegate system operation request to a controller.
PATTERN: Controller (Larman 17.13) Solution: Assign the responsibility to a class representing one of the following choices: • A façade controller, which represents • the overall system • A root object • A device that the software is running within, or • A major subsystem • A use case or session controller which represents a use case scenario in which the system operation occurs

Front Controller Fowler: A controller that handles all requests for a web site. The Front Controller consolidates all request handling by channeling requests through a single handler object. This object can carry out common behaviour which can be modified at runtime with decorators. This handler then dispatches to command objects for behaviour particular to a request.
Front Controller GoF design pattern: Command Use a Command object to encapsulate the steps that are executed by a command. Command::doIt() executes command Allows Command::unDoIt() etc GoF design pattern: Decorator Decorator::m() adds additional behaviour, but delegates to real Object::m() for real behaviour Eg, logging command execution before/after executing command
