At this point, I'm ready to deploy my dwr. xml to my Web application's WEB-INF directory, where the DWR servlet will pick it up.

If the servlet were to access the database directly, the code would be very similar to the code in the session bean above.

The only time you even have to think about this servlet is when you are setting up Seam Remoting in your application.

Now that I've got a servlet to pump out a list of Retweets in JSON format, I'm ready to connect that data to my dashboard web page.

Begin by creating your VXML in a VXML file, and test it out, just as you would when working with a servlet.

As I moved over to server-side Java programming, I did not make the same mistakes with servlets, but I found that many of my customers did.

Further, depending on the classloader structure, an attacker may be able to invoke servlets outside of your Web application.

When run, this command will automatically start an embedded servlet container, making Hudson ready-to-use.

This is set up in its own thread during the init method of the servlet and taken down in the destroy method of the servlet.

For instance, you might have a cluster of clients inside of a servlet container talking to a single server, in classic client-server style.

To run this example you need the latest JDK and JSDK, some sort of servlet engine, and an HTTP server.

In both cases, however, the content to be included must be part of the same Web application (or servlet context) as the page itself.

On each request, the servlet's service method executes on a thread of its own; the thread on which the request is executing.

In it, a single servlet processes view, model and controller logic.

This sends a response to the browser indicating that there was a problem with the user registration or that the servlet needs debugging.

EJB components might be used, for example, to provide business logic for a Web service front end, as well as a servlet and JSP front end.

This problem tends to be worse in server-side programs like servlets.

If your SIP servlet needed any additional mappings or initialization parameters, they would be added to this dialog shown in Figure 8.

EJB components tend to be used for containing "back end" business logic, while servlets and JSPs generally provide a "front end" .

The addition of the SIP servlet specification enables you to easily combine these technologies for rich experiences beyond the Web.
