What is Java Servlet

A servlet is a Java programming language class used to extend the capabilities of a server. Technically speaking, a "servlet" is a Java class in Java EE that conforms to the Java Servlet API.

Servlets are most often used to

• Process or store data that was submitted from an HTML form
• Provide dynamic content such as the results of a database query
• Manage state information that does not exist in the stateless HTTP protocol, such as filling the articles into the shopping cart of the appropriate customer
