Talk:Java Servlet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maybe you should specify which Servlet API versions are supported by each servlet container.
How can i use genricservlet for FTP or ny other protocol please discribe through simple examples?????
Do you think this is a bit too jargon-heavy for lay readers such as myself, rather than those with prior experience of such matters? 194.73.118.78 13:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, I think its got a little too much Sun Hype/Biz Speak in it, I'd like to see it in more down to earth web-server'ish terms if possible. 218.214.138.11 06:37, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] PHP
Is it correct to put PHP in a list with CGI and ASP? PHP scripts may be invoked in CGI, but, generally, PHP is a language, not a technology or something like that... or am I wrong?--VictorAnyakin 08:14, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- PHP is CGI, but it can be embedded in HTML, instead of the "echoing" of "normal" CGI. It is really only cosmetics for humans, you know. :)
- Sorry but that's completely incorrect. PHP is an independant subsystem, exactly like jsp (and considerably easier to use in my opinion). I find its clumping with CGI a bit jarring, and its peering with ASP very jarring - ASP only works on one platform (actually not true, some maniacs backported it into Apache, nobody knows why), PHP - and don't forget mod_python ! - works pretty much on everything.

[edit] Web Containers? So what is the relation between this and Java Servlet?
I'm not fully knowledgable about Java Servlets (though I am an experienced web developer, though obviously not using Java Servlets), and when I read this page I get to the section "Web Containers" and I get myself asking questions like: "err...yes...but what on earth has this to do with Java Servlets?". Please don't explain here - just try and make the article clearer (maybe the whole "Web containers" bit needs to go to a page on its own with simply a line like "A Java Servlet is a type of [Web Container] - that is it contains some runnable web function". My apologies if this example is not at all what the relation between the two.) By all means add a comment here adding something like "I have changed the page as in the history here..." or maybe "Are you blind?... " ;-) Rugops 15:51, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
- Part of the confusion may stem from the fact that the term 'Servlet container' was used for a long time, but seems to have been dropped in favor of the more vague 'web container'. I'll attempt to update the information appropriately. --Clay Collier 09:39, 29 May 2007
[edit] Excessive API links
I've removed most of the links to specific Javadoc pages regarding servlet objects. Throwing in 10-12 extra links to specific Java objects in the first couple paragraphs of the article seems distracting. This isn't a developer's tutorial; Sun (and others) has already written those. --Clay Collier 09:39, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
- I removed the {{external-links}}<nowiki> tag, since I you have already removed the excesive external links. (btw, I also removed a redundant link to java.net, from which a subdomain was given as reference). ~~~~
