HTTP

● HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol

● HTTP is ● Aplication Level Protocol for distributed, collaborative,

hypermedia information systems.● Generic stateless protocol which can be used for many

tasks beyond its use for hypertext .● Use by WWW since 1990.● Use reliable TCP / IP connection.

1 Ashish Bhatia

HTTP/0.9 HTTP/1.0 HTTP/1.1

RFC ? RFC 1945 RFC 2616

URL , URI , URN

● URL : Uniform Resource Locator● URI : Uniform Resource Identifier● URN : Uniform Resource Name

2 Ashish Bhatia

URL , URI , URN

● Web Identifiers● Classical View

● [ URI ] Identifier might specify● location of resource ==> URL

● http://● identifies a resource via a representation of its

primary access mechanism (e.g., its network "location"),

● Its name independent of location ==> URN● urn:isbn :n-nn-nnnnnn-n

Move Back to History

5 Ashish Bhatia

Understanding a Bit here

● Take place of CGI scripts● Run inside a JVM [ Making it safe and portable ]● Operate solely in domain of server unlike applet they

do not require support for Java on web Browser.● Efficient and Scalable : Threads are used for request.● Support for servlet

● Standalone Servlet Engines● Sun Java web Server, JigSaw Server by W3C,

Netscape Eneterprise Server, Lotus Domino Go Server

6 Ashish Bhatia

Understanding a Bit here

● Add – on servlet Engines● Jserv [ Apache ]● JRun [ Live Software ]● WebSphere [ IBM ]● ServletExec [ Atlantas ]

● Embeddable Servlet Engines

7 Ashish Bhatia

Coming back to HTTP

● Always client initiates a transaction by establishing a connection and sending HTTP request.

● Server has no way to callback or connect client.● HTTP transaction begins with :

● Request from the client browser.● Ends with Response from the server.

● Request Header consist of three parts● Method – URI – Protocol Version● Request Headers● Entity Body

Coming back to HTTP

9 Ashish Bhatia

Coming back to HTTP

10 Ashish Bhatia

Coming back to HTTP

11 Ashish Bhatia

Coming back to HTTP

12 Ashish Bhatia

Coming back to HTTP

● Server process the request and send the response to the client.

● HTTP/1.0 200 OK

13 Ashish Bhatia

Coming back to HTTP

● 1xx: Informational - Request received, continuing process

● 2xx: Success - The action was successfully received, understood, and accepted

● 3xx: Redirection - Further action must be taken in order to complete the request

● 4xx: Client Error - The request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled

● 5xx: Server Error - The server failed to fulfill an apparently valid request

14 Ashish Bhatia

Coming back to HTTP

● GET ● Retrieve information identified by Request-URI

● HEAD● Similar to GET except that server will not return

a message body ● POST

●

15 Ashish Bhatia

Coming back to HTTP

● PUT● Enclosed entity be stored under the supplied

Requested-URI● If entity exists it will be treated as modified version● 201 – Created● 200 – OK● 204 – No Content● Error Code● 501 – Not Implemented

16 Ashish Bhatia

Coming back to HTTP

● DELETE● Delete the resource identified by the Request-URI● 200 – OK● 202 – accepted● 204 – No content

● TRACE● Used to invoke a remote, application-layer

loop-back of the request message. The final

recipient of the request SHOULD reflect themessage received back to the client as the entity-body of a 200 (OK) response.

17 Ashish Bhatia

Coming back to HTTP

● CONNECT ● Reserves for use with proxy that can dynamically

switch to being a tunnel.

18 Ashish Bhatia

Are You Attentive ?

How many methods we studied ?

How request header looks ?

How response header looks ?

Lets move to Servlet Basics

19 Ashish Bhatia

Servlet Application Architecture

● A servlet is a Java class that can be loaded dynamically into and run by a special web server.

● Servlet Container / Servlet Engine : Servlet aware web server

20 Ashish Bhatia

Servlet Application Architecture

● Problem and Solution

21 Ashish Bhatia

How Servlet Works

● Servlet is loaded in Servlet Container first.

● Servlet then is forwared theuser request, process it, and returns the responseto the servlet containerwhich in turns send responseback to server.

● Servlet stays in memory waiting for other requests

● Unloaded ??? Shortage of mem

22 Ashish Bhatia

Tomcat as Servlet Container

● Designed by Sun Microsystem ● Handed the code the Apache – 1999

● Included as Jakarta Project ● Its one of recognised Servlet Container and

used world wide● OpenSource

● Current version 7.0

23 Ashish Bhatia

Getting up with Tomcat

● Genreally two options available for tomcat installation

● Liked by many .exe ● Zip folder

● Where to get Tomcat ?● http://tomcat.apache.org/● http://tomcat.apache.org/download-70.cgi

●

24 Ashish Bhatia

Getting up with Tomcat

25 Ashish Bhatia

Setting up using zip / tar.gz version

● Setting up on any platform● Extract the zip / tar.gz to desired place

● Assumption● Extracted folder D:\tomcat● JDK : C:\Program Files\Java\jdk

● Set two environment variables● CATALINA_HOME=D:\tomcat● JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk

● If exe : ● Double click ==> Get installed as window service

26 Ashish Bhatia

Moving ahead to directory

27 Ashish Bhatia

Directory details

● bin● Contains files for starting / stopping tomcat server

● conf● Contains xml files

● lib● Contains jar files

● logs● temp● webapps

● Working directory mapped to localhost [ see later ]● work

28 Ashish Bhatia

Program Structure

29 Ashish Bhatia

Project

WEB-INF

classes lib tags

JSP pages, static html pages, applet classes

web.xml .class files Library archives . tag files

Directory details

● Http://localhost:8080/Add● This will call up index page

[Default Page]● When called the servlet object

is created from Add.class

30 Ashish Bhatia

Understanding the javax.servlet

31 Ashish Bhatia

Understanding the javax.servlet : interfaces

32 Ashish Bhatia

● 14 interfaces : 7 implemented provided by container● ServletConfig● ServletContext● ServletRequest● ServletResponse● RequestDispatcher● FilterChain● FilterConfig

Understanding the javax.servlet : interfaces

33 Ashish Bhatia

● 14 interfaces : 7 left for developer● Servlet● ServletRequestListener● ServletRequestAttributeListener● ServletContextListener● ServletContextAttributeListener● SingleThreadModel● Filter

ServletContext

34 Ashish Bhatia

● ServletConfig interface● getServletContext() that returns ServletContext

● Communicates with the container when you want to perform actions such as writing log files or dispatching request

● One ServletContext object per web application.● Intialized when application starts ● Destroyed when application shut downs

● Persistence mechanism● Attributes available through out.

Other interfaces brief introduction

35 Ashish Bhatia

● ServletRequest and ServletResponse● Provide the client request information and object

used to send the reponse to the client.● RequestDispatcher

● Object that manages client request by directing themto appropriate resources to the server.

● Filter, FilterChain, FilterConfig ● Use for filtering

Understanding the javax.servlet : classes

36 Ashish Bhatia

● Nine classes + 2 exception classes● Generic Servlet● ServletContextEvent● ServletContextAttributeEvent● ServletRequestEvent● ServpetRequestAttributeEvent● ServletInputStream● ServletOutputStream● ServletRequestWrapper● ServletResponseWrapper● ServletException● UnavailableException

Understanding the javax.servlet : classes

37 Ashish Bhatia

Understanding the javax.servlet : classes

38 Ashish Bhatia

Serlvet Interface : LifeCycle

39 Ashish Bhatia

● Servlet must implement the Servlet interface ORExtend from a class that has already implementedServlet Interface.

● public void init(ServletConfig c) throws ServletException● public void service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse

res) throws ServletException, IOException● public void destroy()

● public ServletConfig getServletConfig()● public String getServletInfo() throws ServletException,

IOException

GenericServlet Class

40 Ashish Bhatia

● Abstract class implmenting Servlet Interface.● public void init(ServletConfig config)● public void init()● public abstract void service(ServletRequest req,

ServletResponse res)● public void destroy()● public ServletContext getServletContext()● public java.util.Enumeration getInitParameterNames()● public String getInitParameter(String name)● public String getServletName()● public void log(String msg)● public void log(String message, java.lang.Throwable t)

HttpServlet Cass

41 Ashish Bhatia

● Overrides service method of GenericServlet class.● public void init(ServletConfig config)● public void init()● public void service(ServletRequest req,

ServletResponse res)● public void service(HttpServletRequest req,

HttpServletResponse res)

public void destroy()

HttpServlet Cass

42 Ashish Bhatia

● protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException,IOException

● protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException,IOException

● protected void doHead(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException,IOException

● protected void doPut(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException,IOException

HttpServlet Cass

43 Ashish Bhatia

● protected void doOption(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException,IOException

● protected void doTrace(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException,IOException

● protected long getLastModified(HttpServlet req)throws ServletException,IOException
