2、ability, more savings to invest. .Keywords: JSP Technology;Servlet; server1. A Servlets JobServlets are Java programs that run on Web or application servers, acting as a middle layer between requests coming from Web browsers or other clients and databases or applications on the server. Their job is

3、to perform the following tasks, as illustrated in Figure 1-1.Figure 1-1 Web middleware role1.1 Read the explicit data sent by the client.The end user normally enters this data in an HTML form on a Web page. However, the data could also come from an applet or a custom client program.1.2 Read the impl

4、icit request data sent by the browser.Figure 1-1 shows a single arrow going from the client to the Web server (the layer where servlets and JSP execute), but there are really two varieties of data: the explicit data that the end user enters in a form and the behind-the-scenes information. Both varie

5、ties are critical. The information includes cookies, information about media types and compression schemes the browser understands, and so on.1.3 Generate the results.This process may require talking to a database, executing an RMI or EJB call, invoking a Web service, or computing the response direc

6、tly. Your real data may be in a relational database. Fine. But your database probably doesnt speak or return results in HTML, so the Web browser cant talk directly to the database. Even if it could, for security reasons, you probably would not want it to. The same argument applies to most other appl

7、ications.You need the Web middle layer to extract the results inside a document.1.4 Send the explicit data (i.e., the document) to the client.This document can be sent in a variety of formats, including text (HTML or XML), binary (GIF images), or even a compressed format like gzip that is layered on

8、 top of some other underlying format. But, HTML is by far the most common format, so an important servlet/JSP task is to wrap the results inside of HTML.1.5 Send the implicit response data.Figure 1-1 shows a single arrow going from the Web middle layer (the servlet or JSP page) to the client. But, t

9、here are really two varieties of data sent: the document itself and the behind-the-scenes information. Again, both varieties are critical to effective development. Sending response data involves telling the browser or other client what type of document is being returned (e.g., HTML), setting cookies

10、 and caching parameters, and other such tasks. 2 Why Build Web Pages Dynamically?many client requests can be satisfied by prebuilt documents, and the server would handle these requests without invoking servlets. In many cases, however, a static result is not sufficient, and a page needs to be genera

11、ted for each request. There are a number of reasons why Web pages need to be built on-the-fly:2.1 The Web page is based on data sent by the client.For instance, the results page from search engines and order-confirmation pages at online stores are specific to particular user requests. You dont know

12、what to display until you read the data that the user submits. Just remember that the user submits two kinds of data: explicit (i.e., HTML form data) and implicit (i.e., request headers). Either kind of input can be used to build the output page. In particular, it is quite common to build a user-spe

13、cific page based on a cookie value.2.2 The Web page is derived from data that changes frequently.If the page changes for every request, then you certainly need to build the response at request time. If it changes only periodically, however, you could do it two ways: you could periodically build a ne

14、w Web page on the server (independently of client requests), or you could wait and only build the page when the user requests it. The right approach depends on the situation, but sometimes it is more convenient to do the latter: wait for the user request. For example, a weather report or news headli

15、nes site might build the pages dynamically, perhaps returning a previously built page if that page is still up to date.2.3 The Web page uses information from corporate databases or other server-side sources.If the information is in a database, you need server-side processing even if the client is us

16、ing dynamic Web content such as an applet. Imagine using an applet by itself for a search engine site:Downloading 50 terabyte applet, please wait! Obviously, that is silly; you need to talk to the database. Going from the client to the Web tier to the database (a three-tier approach) instead of from

17、 an applet directly to a database (a two-tier approach) provides increased flexibility and security with little or no performance penalty. After all, the database call is usually the rate-limiting step, so going through the Web server does not slow things down. In fact, a three-tier approach is ofte

18、n faster because the middle tier can perform caching and connection pooling.In principle, servlets are not restricted to Web or application servers that handle requests but can be used for other types of servers as well. For example, servlets could be embedded in FTP or mail servers to extend their

19、functionality. And, a servlet API for SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) servers was recently standardized (see ://en/jsr/detail?id=116). In practice, however, this use of servlets has not caught on, and well only be discussing servlets.3 The Advantages of Servlets Over Traditional CGIJava ser

20、vlets are more efficient, easier to use, more powerful, more portable, safer, and cheaper than traditional CGI and many alternative CGI-like technologies.3.1 EfficientWith traditional CGI, a new process is started for each request. If the CGI program itself is relatively short, the overhead of start

21、ing the process can dominate the execution time. With servlets, the Java virtual machine stays running and handles each request with a lightweight Java thread, not a heavyweight operating system process. Similarly, in traditional CGI, if there are N requests to the same CGI program, the code for the

22、 CGI program is loaded into memory N times. With servlets, however, there would be N threads, but only a single copy of the servlet class would be loaded. This approach reduces server memory requirements and saves time by instantiating fewer objects. Finally, when a CGI program finishes handling a r

23、equest, the program terminates. This approach makes it difficult to cache computations, keep database connections open, and perform other optimizations that rely on persistent data. Servlets, however, remain in memory even after they complete a response, so it is straightforward to store arbitrarily

24、 complex data between client requests.3.2 ConvenientServlets have an extensive infrastructure for automatically parsing and decoding HTML form data, reading and setting headers, handling cookies, tracking sessions, and many other such high-level utilities. In CGI, you have to do much of this yoursel

25、f. Besides, if you already know the Java programming language, why learn Perl too? Youre already convinced that Java technology makes for more reliable and reusable code than does Visual Basic, VBScript, or C+. Why go back to those languages for server-side programming?3.3 PowerfulServlets support s

26、everal capabilities that are difficult or impossible to accomplish with regular CGI. Servlets can talk directly to the Web server, whereas regular CGI programs cannot, at least not without using a server-specific API. Communicating with the Web server makes it easier to translate relative URLs into

27、concrete path names, for instance. Multiple servlets can also share data, making it easy to implement database connection pooling and similar resource-sharing optimizations. Servlets can also maintain information from request to request, simplifying techniques like session tracking and caching of pr

28、evious computations.3.4 PortableServlets are written in the Java programming language and follow a standard API. Servlets are supported directly or by a plugin on virtually every major Web server. Consequently, servlets written for, say, Macromedia JRun can run virtually unchanged on Apache Tomcat,

29、Microsoft Internet Information Server (with a separate plugin), IBM WebSphere, iPlanet Enterprise Server, Oracle9i AS, or StarNine WebStar. They are part of the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE; see :/java.sun /j2ee/), so industry support for servlets is becoming even more pervasive.3.5 Ine

30、xpensiveA number of free or very inexpensive Web servers are good for development use or deployment of low- or medium-volume Web sites. Thus, with servlets and JSP you can start with a free or inexpensive server and migrate to more expensive servers with high-performance capabilities or advanced adm

31、inistration utilities only after your project meets initial success. This is in contrast to many of the other CGI alternatives, which require a significant initial investment for the purchase of a proprietary package.Price and portability are somewhat connected. For example, Marty tries to keep trac

32、k of the countries of readers that send him questions by email. India was near the top of the list, probably behind the U.S. Marty also taught one of his JSP and servlet training courses (see :/courses.coreservlets /) in Manila, and there was great interest in servlet and JSP technology there.Now, w

33、hy are India and the Philippines both so interested? We surmise that the answer is twofold. First, both countries have large pools of well-educated software developers. Second, both countries have (or had, at that time) highly unfavorable currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar. So, buying a

34、 special-purpose Web server from a U.S. company consumed a large part of early project funds.But, with servlets and JSP, they could start with a free server: Apache Tomcat (either standalone, embedded in the regular Apache Web server, or embedded in Microsoft IIS). Once the project starts to become

35、successful, they could move to a server like Caucho Resin that had higher performance and easier administration but that is not free. But none of their servlets or JSP pages have to be rewritten. If their project becomes even larger, they might want to move to a distributed (clustered) environment.

36、No problem: they could move to Macromedia JRun Professional, which supports distributed applications (Web farms). Again, none of their servlets or JSP pages have to be rewritten. If the project becomes quite large and complex, they might want to use Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) to encapsulate their bu

37、siness logic. So, they might switch to BEA WebLogic or Oracle9i AS. Again, none of their servlets or JSP pages have to be rewritten. Finally, if their project becomes even bigger, they might move it off of their Linux box and onto an IBM mainframe running IBM WebSphere. But once again, none of their

38、 servlets or JSP pages have to be rewritten.3.6 SecureOne of the main sources of vulnerabilities in traditional CGI stems from the fact that the programs are often executed by general-purpose operating system shells. So, the CGI programmer must be careful to filter out characters such as backquotes

39、and semicolons that are treated specially by the shell. Implementing this precaution is harder than one might think, and weaknesses stemming from this problem are constantly being uncovered in widely used CGI libraries.A second source of problems is the fact that some CGI programs are processed by l

40、anguages that do not automatically check array or string bounds. For example, in C and C+ it is perfectly legal to allocate a 100-element array and then write into the 999th element, which is really some random part of program memory. So, programmers who forget to perform this check open up their sy

41、stem to deliberate or accidental buffer overflow attacks.Servlets suffer from neither of these problems. Even if a servlet executes a system call (e.g., with Runtime.exec or JNI) to invoke a program on the local operating system, it does not use a shell to do so. And, of course, array bounds checkin

42、g and other memory protection features are a central part of the Java programming language.3.7 MainstreamThere are a lot of good technologies out there. But if vendors dont support them and developers dont know how to use them, what good are they? Servlet and JSP technology is supported by servers f

43、rom Apache, Oracle, IBM, Sybase, BEA, Macromedia, Caucho, Sun/iPlanet, New Atlanta, ATG, Fujitsu, Lutris, Silverstream, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and many others. Several low-cost plugins add support to Microsoft IIS and Zeus as well. They run on Windows, Unix/Linux, MacOS, VMS, and IBM m

44、ainframe operating systems. They are the single most popular application of the Java programming language. They are arguably the most popular choice for developing medium to large Web applications. They are used by the airline industry (most United Airlines and Delta Airlines Web sites), e-commerce

45、(ofoto ), online banking (First USA Bank, Banco Popular de Puerto Rico), Web search engines/portals (excite ), large financial sites (American Century Investments), and hundreds of other sites that you visit every day.Of course, popularity alone is no proof of good technology. Numerous counter-examp

49、P技術(shù)簡述Nagle ，Wiegley摘要：Servlet程序在效勞器端運行，動態(tài)地生成Web頁面與傳統(tǒng)的CGI和許多其他類似CGI的技術(shù)相比，Java Servlet具有更高的效率，更容易使用，功能更強大，具有更好的可移植性，更節(jié)省投資。關(guān)鍵字：JSP技術(shù)；Servlet； 效勞1Servlet的功能Servlet是運行在Web或應(yīng)用效勞器上的Java程序，它是一個中間層，負責(zé)連接來自Web瀏覽器或其他 客戶程序的請求和 效勞器上的數(shù)據(jù)庫或應(yīng)用程序。Servlet的工作是執(zhí)行西門的任務(wù)，如下圖 。圖Web中間件的作用1.1讀取客戶發(fā)送的顯式數(shù)據(jù)最終用戶一般在頁面的HTML表單中輸入這些數(shù)據(jù)。

50、然而，數(shù)據(jù)還有可能來自applet或定制的 客戶程序。1.2讀取由瀏覽器發(fā)送的隱式請求數(shù)據(jù)圖中顯示了一條從客戶端到Web效勞器的單箭頭，但實際上從客戶端傳送到Web效勞器的數(shù)據(jù)有兩種，它們分別為用戶在表單中輸入的顯式數(shù)據(jù)，以及后臺的 信息。兩種數(shù)據(jù)都很重要。 信息包括cookie、瀏覽器所能識別的媒體類型和壓縮模式等。生成結(jié)果這個過程可能需要訪問數(shù)據(jù)庫、執(zhí)行RMI或EJB調(diào)用、調(diào)用Web效勞，或者直接計算得出對應(yīng)的響應(yīng)。實際的數(shù)據(jù)可能存儲在關(guān)系型數(shù)據(jù)庫中。該數(shù)據(jù)庫可能不理解 ，或者不能返回HTML形式的結(jié)果，所有Web瀏覽器不能直接與數(shù)據(jù)庫進行會話。即使它能夠做到這一點，為了平安上的考慮，我們

51、也不希望讓它這么做。對應(yīng)大多數(shù)其他應(yīng)用程序，也存在類似的問題。因此，我們需要Web中間層從 流中提取輸入數(shù)據(jù)，與應(yīng)用程序會話，并將結(jié)果嵌入到文檔中。1.4向客戶發(fā)送顯式數(shù)據(jù)即文檔這個文檔可以用各種格式發(fā)送，包括文本HTML或XML，二進制GIF圖，甚至可以式建立在其他底層格式之上的壓縮格式，如gzip。但是，到目前為止，HTML式最常用的格式，故而servelt和JSP的重要任務(wù)之一就式將結(jié)果包裝到HTML中。1.5發(fā)送隱式的 響應(yīng)數(shù)據(jù)圖中顯示了一條從Web中間層到客戶端的單箭頭。但是，實際發(fā)送的數(shù)據(jù)有兩種：文檔本身，以及后臺的 信息。同樣，兩種數(shù)據(jù)對開發(fā)來說都式至關(guān)重要的。 響應(yīng)數(shù)據(jù)的發(fā)送過

52、程涉及告知瀏覽器或其他客戶程序所返回文檔的類型如HTML，設(shè)置cookie和緩存參數(shù)，以及其他類似的任務(wù)。2動態(tài)構(gòu)建網(wǎng)頁的原因預(yù)先建立的文檔可以滿足客戶的許多請求，效勞器無需調(diào)用servlet就可以處理這些請求。然而，許多情況下靜態(tài)的結(jié)果不能滿足要求，我們需要針對每個請求生成一個頁面。實時構(gòu)建頁面的理由有很多種：2.1網(wǎng)頁基于客戶發(fā)送的數(shù)據(jù)例如，搜索引擎生成的頁面，以及在線商店的訂單確認頁面，都要針對特定的用戶請求而產(chǎn)生。在沒有讀取到用戶提交的數(shù)據(jù)之前，我們不知道應(yīng)該顯示什么。要記住，用戶提交兩種類型的數(shù)據(jù)：顯示即HTML表單的數(shù)據(jù)和隱式即 請求的報頭。兩種輸入都可用來構(gòu)建輸出頁面。基于coo

53、kie值針對具體用戶構(gòu)建頁面的情況尤其普遍。2.2頁面由頻繁改變的數(shù)據(jù)導(dǎo)出如果頁面需要根據(jù)每個具體的請求做出相應(yīng)的改變，當然需要在請求發(fā)生時構(gòu)建響應(yīng)。但是，如果頁面周期性地改變，我們可以用兩種方式來處理它：周期性地在效勞器上構(gòu)建新的頁面和客戶請求無關(guān)，或者僅僅在用戶請求該頁面時再構(gòu)建。具體應(yīng)該采用哪種方式要根據(jù)具體情況而定，但后一種方式常常更為方便，因為它只需簡單地等待用戶的請求。例如，天氣預(yù)報或新聞網(wǎng)站可能會動態(tài)地構(gòu)建頁面，也有可能會返回之前構(gòu)建的頁面如果它還是最新的話。2.3頁面中使用了來自公司數(shù)據(jù)庫或其他數(shù)據(jù)庫斷數(shù)據(jù)源的信息如果數(shù)據(jù)存儲在數(shù)據(jù)庫中，那么，即使客戶端使用動態(tài)Web內(nèi)容，比方

54、applet，我們依舊需要執(zhí)行效勞器端處理。想象以下，如果一個搜索引擎網(wǎng)站完全使用applet，那么用戶將會看到：“正在下載50TB的applet，請等待！。顯然，這樣很愚蠢；這種情況下，我們需要與數(shù)據(jù)庫進行會話。從客戶端到Web層再到數(shù)據(jù)庫三層結(jié)構(gòu)，要比從applet直接到數(shù)據(jù)庫二層結(jié)構(gòu)更靈活，也更平安，而性能上的損失很少甚至沒有。畢竟數(shù)據(jù)庫調(diào)用通常是對速度影響最大的步驟，因而，經(jīng)過中間層可以執(zhí)行高速緩存和連接共享。理論上講，servelt并非只用于處理 請求的Web效勞器或應(yīng)用效勞器，它同樣可以用于其他類型的效勞器。例如，servlet能夠嵌入到FTP或郵件效勞器中，擴展他們的功能。而且，

55、用于會話啟動協(xié)議效勞器的servlet API最近已經(jīng)被標準化參見。但在實踐中，servelt的這種用法尚不流行，在此，我們只論述 Servlet。3Servlet相對于“傳統(tǒng)CGI的優(yōu)點和傳統(tǒng)CGI及許多類CGI技術(shù)相比，Java servelt效率更高、更易用、更強大、更容易移植、更平安、也更廉價。3.1效率 應(yīng)用傳統(tǒng)的CGI，針對每個 請求都用啟動一個新的進程。如果CGI程序自身相比照擬簡短，那么啟動進程的開銷會占用大局部執(zhí)行時間。而使用servelt，Java虛擬時機一直運行，并用輕量級的Java線程處理每個請求，而非重量級的操作系統(tǒng)進程。類似地，應(yīng)用傳統(tǒng)的CGI技術(shù)，如果存在對同一C

56、GI程序的N個請求，那么CGI程序的代碼會載入內(nèi)存N次。同樣的情況，如果使用servlet那么啟動N個線程，單僅僅載入servlet類的單一副本。這種方式減少了效勞器的內(nèi)存需求，通過實例化更少的對象從而節(jié)省了時間。最后，當CGI程序結(jié)束對請求的處理之后，程序結(jié)束。這種方式難以緩存計算結(jié)果，保持數(shù)據(jù)庫連接翻開，或是執(zhí)行依靠持續(xù)性數(shù)據(jù)的其他優(yōu)化。然而，servelt會一直停留在內(nèi)存中即使請求處理完畢，因而可以直接存儲客戶請求之間的任意復(fù)雜數(shù)據(jù)。3.2便利Servelt提供大量的根底構(gòu)造，可以自動分析和解碼HTML的表單數(shù)據(jù)，讀取和設(shè)置 報頭，處理cookie，跟蹤會話，以及其他次類高級功能。而在C

57、GI中，大局部工作都需要我們資金完成。另外，如果您已經(jīng)了解了Java編程語言，為什么還有學(xué)校Perl呢？您已經(jīng)成認應(yīng)用Java技術(shù)編寫的代碼要比Visual Basic，VBScript或C編寫的代碼更可靠，且更易重用，為什么還有倒退回去選擇那些語言來開發(fā)效勞器端的程序呢？3.3強大 Servlet支持常規(guī)CGI難以實現(xiàn)或根本不能實現(xiàn)的幾項功能。Servlet能夠直接于Web效勞器對話，而常規(guī)的CGI程序做不到這一點，至少在不使用效勞器專有API的情況下是這樣。例如，與Web效勞器的通信使得講相對URL轉(zhuǎn)換成具體的路徑名變得更為容易。多個servelt還可以共享數(shù)據(jù)，從而易于實現(xiàn)數(shù)據(jù)庫連接共享

58、和類似的資源共享優(yōu)化。Servelt還能維護請求之間的信息，使得諸如會話跟蹤和計算結(jié)果緩存等技術(shù)變得更為簡單。3.4可移植性Servelt使用Java編程語言，并且遵循標準的API。所有主要的Web效勞器。實際上都直接或通過插件支持servlet。因此。為Macromedia JRun編寫的servlet，可以不經(jīng)過任何修改地在Apache Tomcat，Microsoft Internet Information Server，IBM WebSphere 。iPlanet Enterprise Server。Oracle9i AS 或者StrNine WebStar上運行。他們是java2平臺企業(yè)版的一局部，所以對servlet的支持越來越普遍。3.5廉價對于開發(fā)用的網(wǎng)站、低容量或中等容量網(wǎng)站的部署，有大量免費或極為廉價的Web效勞器可供選擇。因此，通過使用servelt和jsp，我們可以從免費或廉價的效勞器開始，在工程獲得初步成功后，在移植到更高性能或高級管理工具的昂貴的效勞器上。這
