JSPs and Servlets Tutorial 02 - First Servlet Part 2

Creating and running our first Servlet.

Great video.

For anyone wondering why their writer.println("<h3></h3>"); is showing exactly like <h3>hello</h3> on the page, it's probably because this video is from 2011 and the standards have changed etc.

To fix the problem just include your generic html tags as the parameters. eg:


writer.println("hello");

I have searched many videos for jsp and servets but couldn't understand the basics of it. Your videos and explanation on each steps are simple amazing and very useful. Good job Koushik. Well done

if the html tags are also being displayed use
which tells the browser you are using html code.

I have seen many not so good teachers make hell a lot of money in the pretext of teaching java . .. hope you have made more than them .. because you deserve it.

@Vingtoft1011 @shakthydoss The problem is with the content type. Firefox assumes that what it is rendering is plain text. So we need to let it know that it is actually HTML. Use the SetContentType() method of the response object to set it to HTML. I believe I cover that in one of the subsequent tutorials.

All the comments were saying we had to add response.setContent, but no one was being clear on where to add that line. Anyway, its after the system.out.println ... line before the printWriter writer = response.getWriter():

Copy this line after your system.out line,

// additional line of code not mentioned in the video
PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter();

Nice video!!

I have a question. While creating a servlet, should I leave Java Package blank as I dont have one.
if no, please help me in understanding which package to choose or how to choose the package that serves my purpsose.

@Java Rains ;) at 6:27 write syso and CTRL+SPACE with little bit of Enter without any wait (because for what XD) - Sexclipse will willingly complete System.out.println(); and the cursor will land between brackets. It is because Eclipse does not ask - Eclipse understands :D

[alexandrajohnsson]

How come the app calls the servlet automatically when you run it? It's supposed to start on index.html.

[pavanivadlamudi]

Hi, what is the difference between servlet and webservice? Does servlet play any role in webservice

If anyone is following this in 2017, you must put before the line PrintWriter, type in the following, that should help
