一、简介
Servlet 是Server与Applet的缩写,直译为服务端小程序,运行在 Web 服务器或应用服务器,用于接收来自Web客户端的请求并给出响应。
二、关键类
在基于Servlet开发过程中,有以下几个关键类。基于javax.servlet-api的4.0.1版本。
2.1 Servlet
Servlet约定了所有Servlet必须要实现的方法。接口定义如下。
package javax.servlet;
import java.io.IOException;
/**
* Defines methods that all servlets must implement.
*
* <p>A servlet is a small Java program that runs within a Web server.
* Servlets receive and respond to requests from Web clients,
* usually across HTTP, the HyperText Transfer Protocol.
*
* <p>To implement this interface, you can write a generic servlet
* that extends
* <code>javax.servlet.GenericServlet</code> or an HTTP servlet that
* extends <code>javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet</code>.
*
* <p>This interface defines methods to initialize a servlet,
* to service requests, and to remove a servlet from the server.
* These are known as life-cycle methods and are called in the
* following sequence:
* <ol>
* <li>The servlet is constructed, then initialized with the <code>init</code> method.
* <li>Any calls from clients to the <code>service</code> method are handled.
* <li>The servlet is taken out of service, then destroyed with the
* <code>destroy</code> method, then garbage collected and finalized.
* </ol>
*/
public interface Servlet {
/**
* Servlet初始化方法,在Servlet实例化后被调用。
*
* @param config servlet的配置信息
*/
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException;
/**
* 获取Servlet的配置信息、初始化参数等。
*/
public ServletConfig getServletConfig();
/**
* Servlet请求处理方法。
*
* @param req 客户端请求
* @param res Servlet的响应
*/
public void service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException;
/**
* servlet描述信息。
*/
public String getServletInfo();
/**
* Servlet的销毁方法,在Servlet容器即将销毁Servlet时调用。
*/
public void destroy();
}
Servlet中定义了以下方法:
- 请求处理方法——service
- Servlet的生命周期方法,如
- init
- destroy
在接口JavaDoc中指出,如果要实现Servlet接口,可以考虑
- 如果要实现通用的Servlet,可以考虑继承GenericServlet
- 如果要实现HTTP的Servlet,可以考虑继承HttpServlet
在Servlet#init方法中接收入参为ServletConfig,通过该参数我们能获取Web应用中当前Servlet的配置信息。
在Servlet框架中,Servlet接口有两个抽象实现:GenericServlet与HttpServlet。
2.1.1 GenericServlet
GenericServlet抽象类实现了Servlet、ServletConfig接口,并通过属性保存了Servlet启动时传入的ServletConfig对象,但并未实现Servlet#service方法。
public abstract class GenericServlet
implements Servlet, ServletConfig, java.io.Serializable
{
private transient ServletConfig config;
/**
* 实现了Servlet#init方法,并对config进行了保存
*
* Called by the servlet container to indicate to a servlet that the
* servlet is being placed into service. See {@link Servlet#init}.
*
* <p>This implementation stores the {@link ServletConfig}
* object it receives from the servlet container for later use.
* When overriding this form of the method, call
* <code>super.init(config)</code>.
*
*/
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
this.config = config;
this.init();
}
/**
* 留给子类扩展的方法
*
* A convenience method which can be overridden so that there's no need
* to call <code>super.init(config)</code>.
*/
public void init() throws ServletException {
}
// 省略了很多方法
/**
* Called by the servlet container to allow the servlet to respond to
* a request. See {@link Servlet#service}.
*
* <p>This method is declared abstract so subclasses, such as
* <code>HttpServlet</code>, must override it.
*
* @param req the <code>ServletRequest</code> object
* that contains the client's request
*
* @param res the <code>ServletResponse</code> object
* that will contain the servlet's response
*
* @exception ServletException if an exception occurs that
* interferes with the servlet's
* normal operation occurred
*
* @exception IOException if an input or output
* exception occurs
*/
public abstract void service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException;
}
2.1.2 HttpServlet
对基于HTTP协议的Web客户端请求,HttpServlet扩展了GenericServlet。
2.1.2.1 HTTP支持的方法
方法 | 说明 |
---|---|
GET | GET方法请求一个指定资源的表示形式. 使用GET的请求应该只被用于获取数据. |
HEAD | HEAD方法请求一个与GET请求的响应相同的响应,但没有响应体. |
POST | POST方法用于将实体提交到指定的资源,通常导致在服务器上的状态变化或副作用. |
PUT | PUT方法用请求有效载荷替换目标资源的所有当前表示。 |
DELETE | DELETE方法删除指定的资源。 |
CONNECT | CONNECT方法建立一个到由目标资源标识的服务器的隧道。保留方法。 |
OPTIONS | OPTIONS方法用于描述目标资源的通信选项。 |
TRACE | TRACE方法沿着到目标资源的路径执行一个消息环回测试。 |
参考:http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html
2.1.2.2 HttpServlet类结构
HttpServlet结构如图。
HttpServlet继承了GenericServlet,实现了Servlet#service方法,并提供了基于HTTP协议的service方法。
/**
* 该方法依据http请求的method,分别将请求转发给具体doGet、doPost等具体实现方法。
**/
protected void service(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException
对于需要自定义实现处理Http请求Servlet的场景,一般只需要实现对应的doGet、doPost等方法即可,通常没必要重写上述service方法。
2.1.2.3 HttpServlet具体实现
在HttpServlet实现中,doTrace、doOptions提供了基本实现,在扩展HttpServlet时通常没必要重写。但HttpServlet中doPost、doGet、doHead、doPut等方法默认实现为返回http status 400 或 405,在扩展HttpServlet要根据需要来重写。
源码实现如下。
package javax.servlet.http;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.text.MessageFormat;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import javax.servlet.*;
/**
* 为基于HTTP协议的Servlet提供了抽象类。
*
* Provides an abstract class to be subclassed to create
* an HTTP servlet suitable for a Web site. A subclass of
* <code>HttpServlet</code> must override at least
* one method, usually one of these:
*
* 针对下述方法,HttpServlet的子类必须至少实现一个。
*
* <ul>
* <li> <code>doGet</code>, if the servlet supports HTTP GET requests
* <li> <code>doPost</code>, for HTTP POST requests
* <li> <code>doPut</code>, for HTTP PUT requests
* <li> <code>doDelete</code>, for HTTP DELETE requests
* <li> <code>init</code> and <code>destroy</code>,
* to manage resources that are held for the life of the servlet
* <li> <code>getServletInfo</code>, which the servlet uses to
* provide information about itself
* </ul>
*
* 通常没有必要重写service方法。
*
* <p>There's almost no reason to override the <code>service</code>
* method. <code>service</code> handles standard HTTP
* requests by dispatching them to the handler methods
* for each HTTP request type (the <code>do</code><i>XXX</i>
* methods listed above).
*
* 通常没必要重写doOptions、doTrace方法。
*
* <p>Likewise, there's almost no reason to override the
* <code>doOptions</code> and <code>doTrace</code> methods.
*
* 注意多线程环境中共享变量的线程安全。
*
* <p>Servlets typically run on multithreaded servers,
* so be aware that a servlet must handle concurrent
* requests and be careful to synchronize access to shared resources.
* Shared resources include in-memory data such as
* instance or class variables and external objects
* such as files, database connections, and network
* connections.
* See the
* <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/concurrency/">
* Java Tutorial on Multithreaded Programming</a> for more
* information on handling multiple threads in a Java program.

* automatically supports an HTTP HEAD request. A HEAD
* request is a GET request that returns no body in the

*
* <p>The servlet container must write the headers before

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

三、Servlet容器——Tomcat
在日常工作中,Tomcat是常用的Servlet容器。
3.1 Tomcat默认实现Servlet
Tomcat中基于Servlet实现了两个默认的Servlet,在/Tomcat路径/conf/web.xml中定义如下:
<web-app xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee
http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd"
version="3.1">
<!-- The default servlet for all web applications, that serves static -->
<!-- resources. It processes all requests that are not mapped to other -->
<!-- servlets with servlet mappings (defined either here or in your own -->
<!-- web.xml file). -->
<!-- 默认servlet -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>0</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>listings</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<!-- The JSP page compiler and execution servlet, which is the mechanism -->
<!-- used by Tomcat to support JSP pages. Traditionally, this servlet -->
<!-- is mapped to the URL pattern "*.jsp". -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>fork</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>xpoweredBy</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>3</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<!-- 映射 -->
<!-- The mapping for the default servlet -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<!-- The mappings for the JSP servlet -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>*.jspx</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
从定义中可以看到,jsp请求通过名为jsp的Servlet处理,其他请求由名为default的Servlet处理。
部署在当前tomcat中的所有应用都能使用上述两个默认Servlet。
3.2 具体实现
可从官网下载Tomcat源码来查看。
四、实践
基于Servlet + Tomcat实现GET请求处理,整个工程代码结构如图。
ServletDemo
├── pom.xml
└── src
└── main
├── java
│ └── com
│ └── dfx
│ └── servletdemo
│ ├── listener
│ │ └── DemoListener.java
│ └── servlet
│ ├── Demo2Servlet.java
│ └── DemoServlet.java
└── webapp

│ └── web.xml
├── health.html
├── index.jsp
└── test
└── health2.html
4.1 pom
添加以下依赖。
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
<artifactId>javax.servlet-api</artifactId>
<version>4.0.1</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>
4.2 自定义ServletContextListener
为监听ServletContext生命周期,自定义实现了ServletContextListener。
package com.dfx.servletdemo.listener;
import javax.servlet.ServletContextEvent;
import javax.servlet.ServletContextListener;
/**
* 监听ServletContext启动
*/
public class DemoListener implements ServletContextListener {
/**
* ServletContext初始化回调
*
* @param sce
*/
@Override
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {
System.out.println("ServletContext正在初始化。。。");
System.out.println("事件 = " + sce);
System.out.println("参数[servletDemoDate] = " + sce.getServletContext().getInitParameter("servletDemoDate"));
}
/**
* ServletContext销毁回调
*
* @param sce
*/
@Override
public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce) {
System.out.println("ServletContext将要销毁。。。");
System.out.println("事件:" + sce);
}
}
4.3 自定义Servlet
自定义DemoServlet,重写了servlet。
package com.dfx.servletdemo.servlet;
import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
public class DemoServlet extends HttpServlet {
@Override
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
System.out.println("DemoServlet正在初始化。。。");
System.out.println("init参数[initParam] = " + config.getInitParameter("initParam"));
System.out.println(config.getServletContext().toString());
}
@Override
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException {
OutputStream out = resp.getOutputStream();
out.write("hello, get".getBytes());
}
}
为验证同一Web应用中的不同Servlet是否共享ServletContext,又实现了一个Demo2Servlet。
package com.dfx.servletdemo.servlet;
import javax.servlet.ServletConfig;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
public class Demo2Servlet extends HttpServlet {
@Override
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);
System.out.println("Demo2Servlet正在初始化。。。");
System.out.println("init参数[initParam] = " + config.getInitParameter("initParam"));
System.out.println(config.getServletContext().toString());
}
@Override
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse resp)
throws ServletException, IOException {
OutputStream out = resp.getOutputStream();
out.write("hello,2, get".getBytes());
}
}

<url-pattern>*.demo2</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>
</web-app>
4.5 其他静态资源
index.jsp
<html>
<body>
<h2>Hello, i'm index.jsp!</h2>
</body>
</html>
health.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>欢迎页</title>
</head>
<body>
Hello, I'm health.html.
</body>
</html>
4.5 启动验证
1. ServletContext为同一Web应用中的不同Servlet共享
从应用启动日志中可以看到,DemoServlet和Demo2Servlet中打印出的ServletContext的hashCode相同,证明为同一Bean。
2.应用能使用Tomcat中默认Servlet来做资源映射
3. 自定义Servlet能够请求路径处理以.demo 或 .demo2结尾的GET请求
4. 自定义ServletContextListener能够正常监听ServletContext的启动与销毁
五、web.xml中组件加载顺序
servlet中不同组件按照如下顺序从上到下进行初始化:
- context-param
- listener
- filter
- servlet
