The Example Servlets

This chapter uses the Duke’s Bookstore application to illustrate the tasks involved in programming servlets. Table 10-1 lists the servlets that handle each bookstore function. 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.
