Servlets Setup Instructions
"Servlets are modules that extend
request/response-oriented servers, such as Java-enabled web
servers....Servlets are to servers what applets are to browsers.
Unlike applets, however, servlets have no graphical user interface."

Setup Instructions
Fill out the information down below and submit the information to
Tech Support for the creation of your directory. This process is considered
a medium level task
will be completed within 24 hours. Our tech support team will send you a
confirmation notice as soon as you are setup.
Use Instructions
- Upload your servlets ("servletname.class" files) to your "servlets"
directory, which is located on the root of your domain, at the same level
as the "www" (but not inside the "www" directory). For example, upload
"test.class".
- reference your servlet as follow:
http://www.yourdomain.com/servlets/servletname. In our example of
"test.class" servlet, use http://www.yourdomain.com/servlets/test (notice
that the .class extension has been removed when it is referenced)
NOTES:
- The servlets are case sensitive in both the NT Platform and
Unix Platform. Please be aware that the directory in which the servlets
reside is servlets and not servlet.
- You will
not reference the
.class
extension when typing in the path to the servlet.

implement Java Servlets.
