Types of applications
1. single user application(J2SE)--→ the application, installed on a machine,and can be
used only on that machine
2. Web application(J2EE)-→ It is a 3 tier application, deployed on the server and used on
the client machine, It returns the response in HTML format. these are usually used in
B2C communication(business to Client) communication
3. Mobile Application(J2ME)--→ the application which works on mobile, is called as mobile
application
4. Web services-→It is a application which is deployed on server, and returns response in
the form of JSON. It is mostly used in B2B(business to business) communication
The web server we are using is tomcat, by default it runs on port 8080
To use tomacat
1. install tomcat on your machine and unzip the file
then do the following setting
1. set JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.10
2. set path = %JAVA_HOME%\bin
3. set TOMCAT_HOME= E:\apache-tomcat-9.0.76\apache-tomcat-9.0.76
In linux for setting
1. open the file .bashrc, and in this file
export TOMCAT_HOME= E:\apache-tomcat-9.0.76\apache-tomcat-9.0.76
export JAVA_HOME = C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-11.0.10
export path = %JAVA_HOME%\bin
To start the tomcat
1. open the command prompt, and change the folder to tomcat bin
form tomcat conf folder
2. open tomcat_users.xml file
and add the following lines into the file
<role rolename="manager-gui"/>
<user username="manager" password="" roles="manager-gui"/>
3. and then start the server
e:\.....tpmcat..\bin>startup.bat
4. click on Manager GUI
username=manager
password=””
5. to stop the server
e:\tomcat….\bin>shutdown
In tomcat webapp folder works like web container
http -→it is a protocol, that is set of rules of communication between 2 machines
It is a stateless protocol
The url has following parts
When the data is transferred between client and server, the it uses request and
response object
To transfer data from client to server-→ we use request object
To transfer data from server to client-→ we use response object
War file(web archive)
When web application is deployed on the server, the file is war file
Structure of war file
To create a servlet, create a class and extend it from HttpServlet
1. when servlet receives request 1, then it gets loaded in the RAM, request and
response objects get created, and then init method gets called, then service
method handles the request, service method receives 2 parameter ServlerRequest,
ServletResponse
2. req2-→ request and response object will get created, and service method will
handle request. , All further requests will be handled by service method
3. when you will undeploy the servlet, or if you shutdown the server, then destroy
method will get called.
4. In the life time of servlet init and destroy method gets called only once
