Servlet

What is a Servlet?

Servlet can be described in many ways, depending on the context.
  • Servlet is a technology which is used to create a web application.
  • Servlet is an API that provides many interfaces and classes including documentation.
  • Servlet is an interface that must be implemented for creating any Servlet.
  • Servlet is a class that extends the capabilities of the servers and responds to the incoming requests. It can respond to any requests.
  • Servlet is a web component that is deployed on the server to create a dynamic web page.

Do You Know?
  • What is the web application and what is the difference between Get and Post request?
  • What information is received by the web server if we request for a Servlet?
  • How to run servlet in Eclipse, MyEclipse and Netbeans IDE?
  • What are the ways for servlet collaboration and what is the difference between RequestDispatcher and sendRedirect() method?
  • What is the difference between ServletConfig and ServletContext interface?
  • How many ways can we maintain the state of a user? Which approach is mostly used in web development?
  • How to count the total number of visitors and whole response time for a request using Filter?
  • How to run servlet with annotation?
  • How to create registration form using Servlet and Oracle database?
  • How can we upload and download the file from the server?

What is a web application?

A web application is an application accessible from the web. A web application is composed of web components like Servlet, JSP, Filter, etc. and other elements such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The web components typically execute in Web Server and respond to the HTTP request.

CGI (Common Gateway Interface)

CGI technology enables the web server to call an external program and pass HTTP request information to the external program to process the request. For each request, it starts a new process.
CGI vs., Servlet

Disadvantages of CGI

There are many problems in CGI technology:
  1. If the number of clients increases, it takes more time for sending the response.
  2. For each request, it starts a process, and the web server is limited to start processes.
  3. It uses platform dependent language e.g. C, C++, perl.

Image Processing Concepts and Applications

Image
Digital image processing deals with manipulation of digital images through a digital computer. It is a subfield of signals and systems but focus particularly on images. DIP focuses on developing a computer system that is able to perform processing on an image. The input of that system is a digital image and the system process that image using efficient algorithms, and gives an image as an output. The most common example is Adobe Photoshop. It is one of the widely used application for processing digital images. How it works. In the above figure, an image has been captured by a camera and has been sent to a digital system to remove all the other details, and just focus on the water drop by zooming it in such a way that the quality of the image remains the same. Audience This tutorial gives you the knowledge of widely used methods and procedures for interpreting digital images for image enhancement and restoration and performing operations on images such as (blurring , zooming...

Apache Tomcat Tutorial – Index Introduction to Apache Tomcat Installation of Apache Tomcat in Ubuntu Managing Tomcat Starting Tomcat Restarting Tomcat Stopping Tomcat Deploying Web Applications with Apache Tomcat Introduction to Apache Tomcat The Apache Tomcat software is an open source implementation of the Java Servlet, JavaServer Pages, Java Expression Language and Java WebSocket technologies. Apache Tomcat is usually used as a Servlet Container even though Tomcat has a fully functional HTTP Server to serve static content. In most of production, Tomcat is used in conjunction with Apache HTTP Server where Apache HTTP Server attends static content like html, images etc., and forwards the requests for dynamic content to Tomcat. This is because Apache HTTP Server supports more advanced options than that of Tomcat. Latest Apache Tomcat version 8.5 adds support for HTTP/2, OpenSSL for JSSE, TLS virtual hosting and JASPIC 1.1 Components and Features of ...

Machine Learning Concepts

Image
Today’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) has far surpassed the hype of blockchain and quantum computing. This is due to the fact that huge computing resources are easily available to the common man. The developers now take advantage of this in creating new Machine Learning models and to re-train the existing models for better performance and results. The easy availability of High Performance Computing (HPC) has resulted in a sudden increased demand for IT professionals having Machine Learning skills. In this tutorial, you will learn in detail about − What is the crux of machine learning? What are the different types in machine learning? What are the different algorithms available for developing machine learning models? What tools are available for developing these models? What are the programming language choices? What platforms support development and deployment of Machine Learning applications? What IDEs (Integrated Development Environment) are available? How t...
