Servlets
In this worksheet, you will learn the basic mechanism behind Servlets, configuring the Resin web server, and for receiving
information from users via HTML forms.
- Get resin running. Make a ~user/resin directory and then put
directories doc, servlet, log, and conf underneath. Copy the
/home/public/cs601/resin.conf file into the resin/conf directory.
Copy the start up script from the servlets CS601 notes, modifying to
suit your user. Also modify the resin.conf file to have your user
not parrt. Demonstrate that you can view an HTML file from your
resin/doc directory.
- Get a simple servlet running such as the HelloServlet demonstrated
in class. If you are going to manually compile things, make sure your
CLASSPATH is set up properly.
- Write a simple HTML page containing a <form> with fields for
collecting name, email, and age. The <form> should POST to a
servlet that responds to the POST HTTP requests by displaying the
values of your <form> variables.
