What is Servlet?

What is Servlet? Servlet
Servlet technology is utilized to make a web
application (dwells at server side and creates a
dynamic web page).

Servlet technology is strong and adaptable as a
result of java language. Before Servlet, CGI
(Common Gateway Interface) scripting language
was prevalent as a server-side programming
language. Be that as it may, there were numerous
impediments of this technology. We have discussed
these weights underneath. There are various
interfaces and classes in the Servlet API, for
instance, Servlet, GenericServlet, HttpServlet,
ServletRequest, ServletResponse et cetera.

• What is a Servlet?
• Servlet can be depicted from various
  perspectives, dependent upon the particular
  condition.
• Servlet is a technology i.e. used to make a web
  application.
• Servlet is an API that gives numerous interfaces
  and classes including documentation.
• Servlet is an interface that must be actualized
  for making any servlet.
• Servlet is a class that broadens the capacities
  of the servers and reacts to the approaching
  solicitations. It can react to a solicitations.
• Servlet is a web segment that is sent on the
  server to make a dynamic web page.

  event that we ask for a servlet?

  generally utilized as a part of web improvement?

What is a web application? A web application is
an application open from the web. A web
application is made out of web parts like
Servlet, JSP, Filter and so forth and different
segments, for example, HTML. The web segments
ordinarily execute in Web Server and react to
the HTTP ask.

• CGI(Common Gateway Interface)
• CGI technology empowers the web server to call an
  outside program and pass HTTP ask for data to the
  outer program to process the demand. For each
  demand, it begins another procedure.
• Inconveniences of CGI
• There are numerous issues in CGI technology
• If various customers builds, it sets aside more
  opportunity for sending a reaction.
• For each demand, it begins a procedure and a Web
  server is restricted to begin forms.
• It utilizes platform subordinate language e.g. C,
  C, Perl.

• Preferred standpoint of Servlet
• There are numerous preferences of servlet over
  CGI. The web compartment makes strings for taking
  care of the numerous solicitations to the
  servlet. Strings have a considerable measure of
  advantages over the Processes, for example, they
  share a common memory zone, lightweight, cost of
  correspondence between the strings are low. The
  basic advantages of the servlet are as per the
  following
• Better execution since it makes a string for
  each demand, not process.
• Portability since it utilizes Java language.
• Robust Servlets are overseen by JVM so we dont
  have to stress over the memory spill, rubbish
  accumulation and so forth.
• Secure in light of the fact that it utilizes
  java language
