      public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException
      Description copied from class: GenericServlet
      Called by the servlet container to indicate to a servlet that the servlet is being placed into service. See Servlet.init(jakarta.servlet.ServletConfig).

      This implementation stores the ServletConfig object it receives from the servlet container for later use. When overriding this form of the method, call super.init(config).

      Specified by:
      init in interface Servlet
      Overrides:
      init in class HttpServlet
      Parameters:
      config - the ServletConfig object that contains configuration information for this servlet
      Throws:
      ServletException - if an exception occurs that interrupts the servlet's normal operation

    • doGet

      protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws ServletException, IOException
      Description copied from class: HttpServlet
      Called by the server (via the service method) to allow a servlet to handle a GET request.

      Overriding this method to support a GET request also automatically supports an HTTP HEAD request. A HEAD request is a GET request that returns no body in the response, only the request header fields.

      When overriding this method, read the request data, write the response headers, get the response's writer or output stream object, and finally, write the response data. It's best to include content type and encoding. When using a PrintWriter object to return the response, set the content type before accessing the PrintWriter object.

      The servlet container must write the headers before committing the response, because in HTTP the headers must be sent before the response body.

      Where possible, set the Content-Length header (with the ServletResponse.setContentLength(int) method), to allow the servlet container to use a persistent connection to return its response to the client, improving performance. The content length is automatically set if the entire response fits inside the response buffer.

      When using HTTP 1.1 chunked encoding (which means that the response has a Transfer-Encoding header), do not set the Content-Length header.

      The GET method should be safe, that is, without any side effects for which users are held responsible. For example, most form queries have no side effects. If a client request is intended to change stored data, the request should use some other HTTP method.

      The GET method should also be idempotent, meaning that it can be safely repeated. Sometimes making a method safe also makes it idempotent. For example, repeating queries is both safe and idempotent, but buying a product online or modifying data is neither safe nor idempotent.

      If the request is incorrectly formatted, doGet returns an HTTP "Bad Request" message.

      Overrides:
      doGet in class HttpServlet
      Parameters:
      req - an HttpServletRequest object that contains the request the client has made of the servlet
      resp - an HttpServletResponse object that contains the response the servlet sends to the client
      Throws:
      ServletException - if the request for the GET could not be handled
      IOException - if an input or output error is detected when the servlet handles the GET request
