Java™ developer and trainer Roy Miller revamps ourexisting introductory servlet material into this single easy-to-follow, hands-on tutorial. Roy introduces explains what servlets are, how they work, how you can use them to create Web applications of any degree of sophistication you can imagine, and how you can use servlets most effectively as a professional programmer.

Prerequisites

The content of this tutorial is geared toward Java programmers who are unfamiliar, or only vaguely familiar, with servlets. It assumes a general knowledge of downloading and installing software, and a general knowledge of the Java language (creating classes, importing classes, etc.), but doesn't assume knowledge of servlets. The tutorial includes a simple example to illustrate basic servlet concepts, and a more involved example that illustrates more sophisticated use of servlets in a small contact management application.
The generics language feature is available only in JDK 5.0 and later. If you are developing software based on earlier JDK versions, you cannot use the generics features in your code until you migrate to JDK 5.0 or later.
You should have the fundamentals of Java programming well in hand. If you're not quite there yet, try the Introduction to Java programming tutorial to get started. (developerWorks, November 2004)
