This tutorial will examine a variety of ways to architect a system with JavaServer Pages, Servlets, and JavaBeans. We will see a series of different architectures, each a development of the one before.

This tutorial covers the Apache Struts Model-View-Controller (MVC) Design Pattern.

Forms are, of course, the most important way of getting information from the customer of a web site. In this section, we'll just create a simple color survey and print the results back to the user.

The first step to using servlets is installing a web server that supports the Java Servlet SDK. This tutorial exlains how. Topics include: Using Servlets, Obtaining the JSWDK, Installing the JSWDK, Running The Servlet, Examples, and Configuring The JSWDK.

Based on servlet technology, and currently shaping up at breakneck speed, JavaServer Pages (JSP) is set to be one of the most important elements of Java server programming. It's by no means complete yet, but that will change as the Java 2 Enterprise Edition comes together. So what are JavaServer Pages? Well, they combine markup (whether HTML or XML) with nuggets of Java code to produce a dynamic web page. Each page is automatically compiled to a servlet by the JSP engine, the first time it is requested, and then executed. JSP provides a variety of ways to talk to Java classes, servlets, applets and the web server. With it, you can split the functionality of your web applications into components with well-defined public interfaces glued together by a simple page.

XML and JSP are two of the hottest buzzwords these days. This article shows how you can use these two technologies together to make a dynamic Website. You also get a look at code examples for DOM, XPath, XSL, and other Java-XML techniques. In this article, you will learn to design a system using XML in a fairly modest way. Many Websites have vast collections of data that are displayed in a more or less standard way.

This article builds on the first article ' Introduction to Servlets, Your first Java Servlet' to examine Servlets in more detail. In this article we will learn what is Servlet life cycle and how Servlet Container and Servlets interact with each other. We have already learned about init() and destroy() methods in the last article ( see above ) and will learn more about them this time.

Mathematical formulae, with their subscripts, superscripts, and special symbols, are devilishly difficult to translate into HTML. Most scientists and mathematicians use the flexible LaTeX text processor to create aesthetically pleasing formulae -- but how can you convert this output to a Web-friendly form? This article shows how JSP pages and custom tags can get LaTeX-formatted formulae onto the Web in a fashion that is easy for the author and doesn't require any special client-side software. As he iterates through increasingly efficient methods, you'll see how server-side Java technology can harness the power of disparate third-party tools to solve seemingly intractable problems.

Web application events are new in Servlet 2.3 specification. They give you greater degree of control over your web application. In this article we will study two important application events : 1) Application startup and shutdown 2) Session creation and invalidation. As their names suggest, application startup event occurs when your web application is first loaded and started by the Servlet container and application shutdown event occurs when the web application is shutdown.

This article is next in the series of articles about selecting, inserting, updating and deleting records from the database using JDBC. In this article we will learn how to update records in the database. If you have followed my earlier article about 'Inserting records in the Database' then this article is not going to be difficult at all. 90% of the code will be same. So if you haven't read that article then I will suggest that you go through that article before starting this one as quite a few important things have been explained in detail there.
