Introduction to Servlets





Servlet is a Java class that creates a dynamic content after processing the user request, which was sent from the web browser. Hence, Java Servlet is a technology used in the creation of dynamic web applications.

Although Servlet is quite similar to other web server technology such as Common Gateway Interface(CGI) but Servlet has overcome the disadvantages of CGI. For example - A Servlet may process one or even multiple concurrent user requests which can be HTTP based or non-http without overburdening or increasing the workload on the server(which is a big issue with CGI based web applications).
