This lesson shows you a few ways to invoke servlets:
Servlets can be called directly by typing their URL into a browser's location window. This is how you access the main page of the Duke's Bookstore example. This section shows you the general form of a servlet URL.
Servlet URLs can be used in HTML tags, where a URL for a CGI-bin script or file URL might be found. This section shows servlet URLs being used as the destination of an anchor, as the action in a form, and as the location to be used when a META tag directs that a page be refreshed. This section assumes knowledge of HTML. If you don't know HTML you can learn about it through various books or by looking at theHTML 3.2 Reference Specification
.
This lesson assumes:
localhost
, is running the JSDK server (JSDK 2.1) or
servletrunner (JSDK 2.0) or a servlet-enabled web server such as
the Java Web Server
servletrunner
(JSDK 2.0), this means
that the class files are in the servlet directory specified by the
-d
option.
