Servlet Classes

• Any servlet class implements the interface javax.servlet.Servlet.

• This interface defines a few low-level methods, including the low-level request-handling method, service().

  • Perhaps the only method from Servlet you will use explicitly is getServletConfig().

• All servlets we will be concerned with are extended from the base class javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet (which implements Servlet).
