The Example Servlets
This chapter uses the Duke's Bookstore application to illustrate the tasks involved in
programming servlets. The source code for the bookstore application is located in the
tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/bookstore1/ directory, which is created when
you unzip the tutorial bundle (see
lists the servlets that handle each bookstore function. You can find these servlet
classes in
tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/bookstore1/src/java/com/sun/bookstore1/.
Each programming task is illustrated by one or more servlets. For example,
BookDetailsServlet
illustrates how to handle HTTP GET requests, BookDetailsServlet and
CatalogServlet
show how to construct responses, and CatalogServlet illustrates how to
track session information.
