JAVA SERVLETS

2 Days course

Language: English

This course is only available on request!!

DESCRIPTION
Prior to Java servlets, dynamic content from your Web server was accomplished by CGI and proprietary APIs.
This course details a third way - the Java Servlet Development Kit (JSDK).
The JSDK lets you extend a Java-enabled Web server with servlets, server-side components written in Java.
These components are platform and protocol independent.
Servlets can be used to replace CGI, process forms, interact with the database or as a middle tier in a three-tiered architecture.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Understand how and when a servlet is loaded, and how and when it is executed
Understand how threads are managed and how to handle the synchronization issues in a multi-threaded system
Understand how a servlet can generate HTML, return errors, redirect requests, and write data to the server log
How to maintain security with servlets
Have servlets communicate with one another
Understand which charsets servlets may use to generate content in several languages

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
This course is designed for CGI programmers, JavaScript programmers, Java Applet programmers and authors of Web pages.
