Servletrelated

Servletrelated refers to a broad category of Java technologies and concepts associated with the development of web applications. At its core are Java Servlets, which are Java classes that extend the capabilities of a server, typically a web server. Servlets are used to handle requests from clients, process them, and send back responses. They are a fundamental component of the Java EE (Enterprise Edition) platform, now known as Jakarta EE.

The Servlet API defines a standard interface for servlets, allowing them to be deployed and run on any compliant servlet container, such as Apache Tomcat or Jetty. This portability is a key advantage. Beyond the basic Servlet API, the Servletrelated ecosystem includes technologies like JavaServer Pages (JSP), which allow developers to embed Java code within HTML to create dynamic web content. Servlets and JSPs often work together, with servlets handling the business logic and JSPs responsible for presentation.

Other important Servletrelated concepts include filters, which can intercept requests and responses to perform common tasks like logging or authentication, and listeners, which can monitor events within the servlet container. Frameworks like Spring MVC and Struts are built upon the Servlet API, providing higher-level abstractions and simplifying the development of complex web applications. The Servletrelated model has been a cornerstone of Java web development for many years, evolving with new specifications and best practices.
