  1. CS320 Web and Internet ProgrammingIntroduction to Java Servlets Chengyu Sun California State University, Los Angeles

  2. Java Web Application Components • Compiled Java classes (.class files) • Servlets, beans, filters, ... • Addtional Java libraries (.jar files) • JavaServer Pages (JSPs) • Static resources • HTML, CSS, images, ... • Metadata files • web.xml, ...

  3. Directory Structure of a Java Web Application Application Root Directory JSPs and static resources WEB-INF web.xml classes Compiled Java classes lib Additional Java libraries

  4. Directory Structure on CS3 Application Root Directory www JSPs and static resources WEB-INF web.xml classes Compiled Java classes lib Additional Java libraries

  5. Directory Structure of an Eclipse Dynamic Web Project Application Root Directory WebContent JSPs and static resources WebContent/WEB-INF WEB-INF web.xml build/classes classes Compiled Java classes WebContent/WEB-INF/lib lib Additional Java libraries

  6. Servlet HelloWorld import java.io.*; import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; public class HelloWorld extends HttpServlet { public void doGet( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response ) throws ServletExceptoin, IOException { PrintWriter out = response.getWriter(); out.println( “Hello World” ); } }

  7. Some Simple Observations • Inherits from HttpServlet • http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/2.5/docs/servlet-2_5-mr2/javax/servlet/http/HttpServlet.html • There’s no main() method • doGet() • Input: HttpServletRequest • Output: HttpServletResponse  sent back to the client browser

  8. About web.xml • Web application deployment descriptor • <welcome-file-list> • <servlet> and <servlet-mapping> • More about web.xml in Java Servlet Specification

  9. Example: HelloWorld in HTML • Modify the HelloWorld servlet to output in HTML

  10. Generating HTML • HttpServletResponse • Set content type to “text/html” • setContentType() • Generate an HTML page • getWriter().println() • <html>, <head>, <body> ...

  11. Example: RequestCounter • Display the number of times a servlet is requested

  12. Servlet Life Cycle • When the servlet is loaded – init() • Executed only once • Per request – service() • dispatch to doXxx() • When the servlet is unloaded – destroy()

  13. Example: SharedRequestCounter • Use one servlet to count the number of requests, and another servlet to display the count

  14. Sharing Data among Servlets • HttpServlet • getServletContext() • HttpServletContext • setAttribute(String name, Object value) • getAttribute(String name)

  15. <load-on-startup> in web.xml • By default, a servlet is not created until it is accessed for the first time • Could cause problem if one servlet must run before another servlet • Use <load-on-startup> to have a servlet created during application startup

  16. <load-on-startup> Example <servlet> <servlet-name>ServletA</servlet-name> <servlet-class>cs320.cysun.ServletA</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet> <servlet-name>ServletA</servlet-name> <servlet-class>cs320.cysun.ServletB</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup> </servlet>

  17. <error-page> Example <error-page> <error-code>404</error-code> <location>/404.html</location> </error-page> <error-page> <error-code>403</error-code> <location>/403.html</location> </error-page>

  18. Debugging Servlets • Using the Eclipse debugger • Set break points • Debug As Debug on Server • View the source of the generated HTML • Validation - http://validator.w3.org/
