Question - Explain the steps involved in placing a servlet within a package?
Answer -
The Packages are used to separate the servlets under a directory to eradicate confusion among programmers working simultaneously on creating servlets on the same server. This can be done through the following steps:
- Sorting of files into different subdirectories by matching the package name to the subdirectory name to organize the packages.
- After sorting the packages into subdirectories insert the package statement in the class file.
Let us understand through this an example as follows:
- import java.io.*;
- import javax.servlet.*;
- import javax.servlet.http.*;
- public class servlet1 extends HttpServlet{
- public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
- throws ServletException, IOException {
- response.setContentType("text/html");
- PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
- String docType = "n";
- out.println(docType + "n" + "Edurekan" + "n" + "");
- }
- }
