Using and Writing Java Servlets

With the power of the Java API set, servlets can provide complex, dynamic web pages and form processing.
More and More

Of course, these examples show servlets completing simple tasks. Servlets can be expanded easily to handle cookies and keep a session for a person's range of activities, such as logging in to access certain data and then logging out.

Conclusion

The configuration of the web server to support servlets can be troublesome. However, servlets, with the power of the Java API set, can provide complex dynamic webs pages and form processing.

Good review. Right on target on the configuration being troublesome. The beating of old drums such as 'recompiling for new API's' or 'Java is slow' is unfortunately pure bantor. Everybody in every language recompiles code from time to time. And saying 'java is slow' is akin to the windoz jokers preaching that 'linux has no desktop interface'. How very yesterday....

Hi,

I tried your example of form response servlet. Can you tell me where should I put the html form file and the class file of the sevlet? so that I can try it on Abyss Server/Tomcat/Servletrunner

Thanks,

Alankar

I like the tutorial, it will help me learn. I wish some of the value judgements could have been left out. I am, however, sick of Java people bashing "scripting" langs that they clearly have no knowledge of.

I really like this Tutorial too! I just start using Servlet yesterday and I have already create a WebApp information Table from what I have learned from this session. Thank you!

No credit is given to mod_perl, which only loads one instance of the Perl interpreter. Within mod_perl, pages are compiled once and run many times during the life of the server process. Many major web sites use the power of mod_perl to leverage the speed of Apache and the power and flexibility of Perl to generate rich, dynamic, and lightning-fast Web sites.

The article is not about mod_perl. However I do agree the article is a bit misleading as nobody in their right mind uses perl/php via CGI with Apache.

I like this article but can u

Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers

Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
