Java Servlet Examples

The examples on this page are from various sources. They have been collected and implemented by Jeff Schmitt.

servletrun

servletstop

This script stops the servletrunner server. It is necessary to stop the server each time you copy a new .class file to the servlet directory, or the server will continue to use the old .class file. The server will be automatically restarted by servletrun.

Project: This program already has a separate button for viewing the database, but the submit button should just print the one person's submitted data and not the whole database.
Servlets have a major advantage over CGI programs in that loading the JDBC driver and connecting to the database server can be done in the servlet's init method, then each subsequent service transaction can be handled using this existing connection. The way it is written now, the JDBC driver is loaded and a database server connection is established for every transaction which is extremely inefficient and time consuming. Your project is to also implement this change.
