Servlets execute as part of a web server, and can access application servers in the enterprise and deliver the user interface to clients using HTML/CSS/JavaScript. This module introduces the coding and deployment of servlets in a Java EE environment. Learning Objectives On completion of this module, students should be able to: Understand what servlets are and when they are used; Describe the servlet lifecycle; Describe the general functions of the most important classes/interfaces: GenericServlet, HttpServlet, HttpRequest, HttpResponse; Know the steps in writing and deploying a simple servlet; Be familiar with issues relating to session management, cookies, filters, synchronisation, packaging and deployment.
