| | Amazon.com: Books: Java Servlet Programming (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Servlets are most commonly used, however, to extend Web servers, performing tasks traditionally handled by CGI programs. |
 | | Servlets have full access to the various Java APIs and to third-party component classes, making them ideal for use in communicating with applets, databases, and RMI servers. |
 | | Luckily, the second edition does not tinker with the tried and true formula of the first: brief overview, hello world servlet, a thorough overview of the HTTP protocol itself and the architecture of servlets, a discussion of thread and resource issues, and a standalone chapter on session management. |
