Java Servlet

A Java Servlet is the Java technology used to extend and improve Web server functionality. Servlets are able to provide a platform independent way to build web-based applications founded upon components without the performance limitations found with comparable CGI applications. Since Java Servlets are platform and server independent, they can be deployed across the full …
