B
Servlet and JSP Technical Background

This appendix provides technical background on servlets and JavaServer Pages. Although this document is written for users who are well grounded in servlet technology, the servlet information here may be a useful refresher.

Standard JavaServer Pages interfaces, implemented automatically by generated JSP page implementation classes, are briefly discussed as well. Most readers, however, will not require this information.

The following topics are covered:

• Background on Servlets

• Web Application Hierarchy

• Standard JSP Interfaces and Methods
