JSP/Servlet Architecture

www.SunilOS.com 5
Introduction
 When an application is accessed by web browser is
called web application.
 Browser is called Web Client that communicates with a
Web Server.
 Web pages are accessed by URLs.
 A web page is uniquely identified by a name is called URI
(Unified Resource Identifier).
 The Web Server hosts components, that understand the
web client’s request, invoke required dynamic or static
web page and then generate the response.
 The Web Server provides user sessions to save state
across several contiguous requests from the same user.
 The most common communication protocol between web
client and server is HTTP.

www.SunilOS.com 6
JSP/Servlet Overview
 JSP/Servlet is a class that generates dynamic response
on receiving the Client’s request.
 It is more efficient replacement of CGI scripts for web
programming.
 It is multi-threaded. It creates multiple threads instead of
multiple processes for concurrent multiple users.
 JSP/Servlets are Web Server portable. Same code can be
deployed on any J2EE Web Server without making any
changes.
 Sometimes Web Servers are referred as Container.
 Web Server can be run in standalone mode or can be
integrated with other servers.

Specification Version 2.5
Specification Version 3.0 and above support
annotation.

How to write a Servlet
 Extends from javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet class
o Overrides doGet method to handle GET request.
o Or overrides doPost method to handle POST request.
o Above methods are called by service() lifecycle method. Do NOT
override service() method.
 Both methods receive two parameters
o HttpServletRequest is the object that contains parameters sent by
Client.
o HttpServletResponse is the object that contains data sent to the
client from the server.
 Servlet will be mapped with a URL in web.xml. This URL
is used by client to access servlet from browser.

www.SunilOS.com 10
Hello World
package in.co.sunrays.servlet;
public class HelloWorld extends HttpServlet {
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException,ServletException {
response.setContentType("text/html");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<h1>Hello World!</h1>");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
out.close();
}
}

Servlet Mappings
 One servlet can be mapped with multiple URLs
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ak</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
in.co.sunrays.servlet.AkshayKumar
</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<url-pattern>/akki</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<url-pattern>/sik</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<url-pattern>*.khiladi</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Servlet Mappings ( Cont.)
Call Servlet by multiple URLs
o http://localhost:8080/demo/akki
o http://localhost:8080/demo/sik
o http://localhost:8080/demo/786.khiladi
o http://localhost:8080/demo/sabsebada.khiladi
o http://localhost:8080/demo/anadi.khiladi
All URLs will call same server
AkshayKumar.

<servlet-mapping>
<url-pattern>/kakki</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<url-pattern>/sik</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
….
 Following URLs will call the same servlet KatrinaKaif.
• http://localhost:8080/demo/kakki
• http://localhost:8080/demo/sik

www.SunilOS.com 15
HttpServletRequest object
A request object consists of Header and
Data:
o Header contains metadata and client/server IP
and Port information.
o Data contains the data submitted by user from
input HTML Form.

www.SunilOS.com 16
Request Methods
 GET ( Default) method sends Header and Data in a single
URL.
o GET is considered to be safe, As usually browsers do not inform
the user about submitting data.
o URL strings of GET requests can be book marked.
 POST method sends Header as URL and Data in a
separate socket connection.
 PUT
o for saving the data under the request URI.
 DELETE
o for deleting the data under the request URI.

www.SunilOS.com 17
HttpServletRequest Params
 Servlet receives user request as HttpServletRequest object.
 Sent parameters are retrieved by getParameter(key) method.
• Query String : ?name=Ram&surname=Sharma
• String name = request.getParameter(“name”);
• String surname= request.getParameter(“surname”);
 One parameter may have mutiple values. In this case we will use
method getParameterValues(key). It returns String[] array.
• Query String : ?address=Mumbai&address=Delhi
• String[] add= request.getParameter(“address”);
 Method getParameterNames() returns a list of parameter sent by
user.
 Request Header information can be retrieved by getHeader(key)
method.
 Method getHeaderNames() returns the list of header names.

www.SunilOS.com 18
Request Info
public class RequestInfo extends HttpServlet {
HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException,
ServletException {
out.println("<h3>Request Information Example</h3>");
out.println("Method: " + request.getMethod());
out.println("Request URI: " + request.getRequestURI());
out.println("Protocol: " + request.getProtocol());
out.println("Remote Address: " + request.getRemoteAddr());
}
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request,
ServletException {
doGet(request, response);
}
}

ServleConfig object
ServletConfig object is created for each Servlet.
It is used to pass initialization parameters to the
Servlet by Container from web.xml.
Servlet can access this object using:
o ServletConfig config=getServletConfig();
JSP can access this object using implicit object
config.

Life of a Servlet
 Birth: Creates and initializes the servlet. On birth
init() method is called.
 Life: Handles 0 or more clients’ requests. During
life time for each request service() method is
called.
 Death: Destroys the servlet. At the time destruction
destroy() method is called.

www.SunilOS.com 49
Life of a Servlet (Cont.)
 When the Servlet instance is created, the container will call init()
method. Now the Servlet is ready for processing users’ requests.
 Method service() is called to process a user’s request.
 Based on the header information, service() will call doPost() or doGet()
method.
 The Servlet remains loaded and ready after a request is processed.
 Method destroy() is called before a Servlet is deleted. Time of deletion
of a servlet is not defined.
 Only one instance of the servlet is instantiated in
its life.

www.SunilOS.com 50
Servlet One Instance
 Q-Why container has only single instance of a Servlet for
multiple users.
 A- For resources (memory) optimization.
 Q- Can you define instance variables in a servlet?
 A – Yes
 Q- Can we store a user state in an instance variable?
 A – Yes, but that is not advisable.
 Q- Why not advisable?
 A –Since all users have access on the same Servlet
instance so any user can modify instance variable thus, it is
not recommended to store a user state in the instance
variable of a Servlet.

Package javax.servlet
Defines the interface between Servlet Engine and Servlet.
 Servlet: independent of communication protocol (e.g. HTTP, FTP)
 ServletRequest: information about the request.
 ServletResponse: generating and sending the response to the
browser.
 ServletConfig: provides initialization parameters for a Servlet
(from web.xml).
 ServletContext: describes runtime environment of the Servlet.

Package javax.servlet.http
 HttpServlet: handles the HTTP protocol
o Provides direct access to HTTP header.
o provides named constants for HTTP.
 HttpServletRequest provides access to:
o Parameters sent with the HTTP request. Parameters are accessed by
getParameter(name) method.
o Fields of the HTTP headers. Headers are accessed by getHeader() and
getHeaderNames() methods.
o Corresponding Session object . Session object is accessed by getSession()
method.
 HttpServletResponse
o Servlet writes its output to response object.
 HttpSession
o Represents a Session that provides a memory storage for multiple requests
from the same user.
www.SunilOS.com 54

SingleThread Model
 A SingleThreadModel servlet handles only one request at a time. In
other words requests are processed sequentially.
 It is guaranteed that NO two threads can access this servlet
concurrently.
 Servlet has to implement interface SingleThreadModel. This
interface is a marker interface and contains ZERO method.
 Some application servers create separate instances for multiple users
to increase the performance of application.
 Syntax:
public class SingleThreadServlet
extends HttpServlet
implements SingleThreadModel{ … }
 Some application servers create separate instances for multiple users
to increase the performance of application.

Cookies
 A Cookie is a key and value pair
(key=value), set by server at
browser.
 Cookies are stored in a file.
 Cookies files are owned and
controlled by browsers.
 Cookies are attached with
requested URLs as header.
 A Cookie has maximum age and
removed by Browser after
expiration.
 Desktop may have multiple
browsers.
 Each browser has separate
cookie file in a separate folder.
 Cookies can be enabled or
disabled by browser.

Session - HTTP is a stateless protocol

What is Session
 HTTP is a stateless protocol.
 Session tracking mechanism is used by servlets to maintain
the state of a user(browser).
 A state consists of a series of requests from the same user
(browser) for a particular time.
 Session will be shared by multiple servlets those are
accessed by the same user.
 A good example is online Shopping Cart that contains
multiple items, selected from multiple user’s requests.

www.SunilOS.com 67
Session Tracking
 Session is tracked with help of Session ID.
 There are three ways to track a session:
o Cookies: Session ID is stored as Cookie
o URL Rewriting: Session ID is appended with URL as
a parameter. For example:
• http://www.yahoo.com?jsessionid=AZX1234
o Session ID is stored in Hidden form field.
• <INPUT type=“hidden” name=“jsessionid” value=“1234” />

www.SunilOS.com 68
Session Tracking
 <a href=“MyJsp.jsp">Simple Link</a> -------Cookie
 OR
 <%
 String enUrl = response.encodeURL("MyJsp.jsp"); -------URL Rewriting
 %>
 <a href="<%=enUrl%>">Encoded Link</a>
 <a href=“MyJsp.jsp?jsessionid=<%=session.getId()%>">Simple Link</a>
 OR
 This is my JSP page. -------Form Hidden Field
 <form action="MyJsp.jsp" method="GET">
o <input type="hidden" name="jsessionid" value="<%=session.getId()%>" />
o <input type="text" name="n" />
o <input type="submit" />
 </form>

 <form action="MyJsp.jsp" method="GET">
 <input type="hidden" name="jsessionid"
value="24A1B3B97851D1E40AEF3955C33C8F79" />
 In case of URL rewriting/hidden field, all pages must be
JSP or Servlet.

Jsp:SetProperty
 Set All Attributes- Will set all attributes matching with parameter
names:
o <jsp:setProperty name=“std“ property= “*" />
 When parameter and attribute names are different:
o <jsp:setProperty name=“std“ property= “firstName"
param=“name" />
o std.setFirstName(request.getParameter(“name”));
 Set a literal value:
o <jsp:setProperty name=“std“ property= “firstName" value="sunrays"
/>
o std.setFirstName(“sunrays”);
 Set value from a variable:
o String name = “sunrays”;
o <jsp:setProperty name=“std“ property= “firstName" value=“<
%=name%>" />

Error Handling
 JSP pages can be categorized into regular and error
pages:
 Regular pages raise exceptions. By default each page is a
regular page. False value of attribute isErrorPage says this
is a regular page.
o <%@ page isErrorPage=“false"%>
 Error Handler pages handle exceptions. You can make an
error handler page by setting true value to attribute
isErrorPage.
o <%@ page isErrorPage=“true"%>

Filters
Browser JSP/Servlet
Filters

www.SunilOS.com 84
Filter
 A filter is an object that performs filtering operations on
either the request to a Servlet or on the response from a
Servlet or on both.
 A filter class is created by implementing interface
javax.servlet.Filter.
 A Filter has three lifecycle methods, init(), doFilter() and
destroy().
 Method doFilter() is called on each user’s request.
 A filter can be applied to a single servlet or a URL pattern.
 Filters are configured in web.xml.

www.SunilOS.com 85
Usage of Filter
 Authentication Filters
 Authorization Filters
 Logging and Auditing Filters
 Image conversion Filters
 Data compression Filters
 Encryption Filters
 Tokenizing Filters
 Filters that trigger resource access events
 XSL/T filters
 Mime-type chain Filter

Sample Filter Class
public class MyFilter implements Filter {
FilterConfig conf = null;
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response,
FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException {
Enumeration e = request.getParameterNames();
String key, value;
key = (String) e.nextElement();
value = request.getParameter(key);
System.out.println(key + " = " + value);
}
//Pre Processing
chain.doFilter(request, response);
//Post processing
}
public void init(FilterConfig conf) throws ServletException {this.conf = conf;}
public void destroy() { conf = null; }
}
www.SunilOS.com 86

Apply Filter to a single Servlet
<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.servlet.HelloWorld</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<filter>
<filter-name>HelloFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.filter.MyFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>HelloFilter</filter-name>
<servlet-name>HelloWorld</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
www.SunilOS.com 87

www.SunilOS.com 88
Apply Filter to URL pattern
<filter>
<filter-name>Logger</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.filter.Logger</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>Logger</filter-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Front Controller
 Most common use of Filter is Front Controller. Front controller is a
standard code practice followed by all web applications. Front
controller authorizes a user, if user is logged then only user can access
any page from application otherwise user is redirected to login page
with an error message “OOPS your session is expired”.
 <filter id=“frontCtl">
o <filter-name>frontCtl</filter-name>
o <filter-class>com.filter.MainFilter</filter-class>
 </filter>
 <filter-mapping>
o <filter-name>frontCtl</filter-name>
o <url-pattern>*.*</url-pattern>
 </filter-mapping>
