First hand on Servlet 3.0 using Annotation

   This tutorial gives introduction to coding and deploying Servlet as per 3.0 specification. Servlet 3.0 specification introduced Annotations that makes deploying servlet, Lister and Filter easier ever before.

Here is the Servlet with Annotation ready to deploy without any web.xml. Here @webservlet annotation is being used to define servlet name, url pattern and init parameters. This annatation is equivalent to following entry in web.xml

<servlet>
<servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>demo.HelloServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>name</param-name>
<param-value>Yogesh</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>

<
servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>HelloServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/HelloServlet</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
response.setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String name = getInitParameter("name");
try {
// TODO output your page here
out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head>");
out.println("<title>Servlet HelloServlet</title>");
out.println("</head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("<h2>Good Morning</h2>");
out.println("</body>");
out.println("</html>");
} finally {
out.close();
}
}

* @return a String containing servlet description

@Override
public String getServletInfo() {
return "Short description";
}// </editor-fold>
}





To run this file I have used NetBeans 6.8 , just created Java Web Application and normal java class HelloServlet. Running this class deploy HelloServlet to embedded server and gives following output in browser.
