1、附录一 外文资料原文：ABOUT JAVA TECHNOLOGYServlets and JSP: An Overview1. What are Java Servlets?Servlets are Java technologys answer to CGI programming. They are programs that run on a Web server and build Web pages. Building Web pages on the fly is useful (and commonly done) for a number of reasons: The Web

2、 page is based on data submitted by the user. For example the results pages from search engines are generated this way, and programs that process orders for e-commerce sites do this as well. The data changes frequently. For example, a weather-report or news headlines page might build the page dynami

3、cally, perhaps returning a previously built page if it is still up to date. The Web page uses information from corporate databases or other such sources. For example, you would use this for making a Web page at an on-line store that lists current prices and number of items in stock. 2. What are the

4、Advantage of Servlets Over Traditional CGI?Java servlets are more efficient, easier to use, more powerful, more portable, and cheaper than traditional CGI and than many alternative CGI-like technologies. (More importantly, servlet developers get paid more than Perl programmers :-). Efficient. With t

5、raditional CGI, a new process is started for each HTTP request. If the CGI program does a relatively fast operation, the overhead of starting the process can dominate the execution time. With servlets, the Java Virtual Machine stays up, and each request is handled by a lightweight Java thread, not a

6、 heavyweight operating system process. Similarly, in traditional CGI, if there are N simultaneous request to the same CGI program, then the code for the CGI program is loaded into memory N times. With servlets, however, there are N threads but only a single copy of the servlet class. Servlets also h

7、ave more alternatives than do regular CGI programs for optimizations such as caching previous computations, keeping database connections open, and the like. Convenient. Hey, you already know Java. Why learn Perl too? Besides the convenience of being able to use a familiar language, servlets have an

8、extensive infrastructure for automatically parsing and decoding HTML form data, reading and setting HTTP headers, handling cookies, tracking sessions, and many other such utilities. Powerful. Java servlets let you easily do several things that are difficult or impossible with regular CGI. For one th

9、ing, servlets can talk directly to the Web server (regular CGI programs cant). This simplifies operations that need to look up images and other data stored in standard places. Servlets can also share data among each other, making useful things like database connection pools easy to implement. They c

10、an also maintain information from request to request, simplifying things like session tracking and caching of previous computations. Portable. Servlets are written in Java and follow a well-standardized API. Consequently, servlets written for, say I-Planet Enterprise Server can run virtually unchang

11、ed on Apache, Microsoft IIS, or WebStar. Servlets are supported directly or via a plugin on almost every major Web server. Inexpensive. There are a number of free or very inexpensive Web servers available that are good for personal use or low-volume Web sites. However, with the major exception of Ap

12、ache, which is free, most commercial-quality Web servers are relatively expensive. Nevertheless, once you have a Web server, no matter the cost of that server, adding servlet support to it (if it doesnt come preconfigured to support servlets) is generally free or cheap. 3. What is JSP?Java Server Pa

13、ges (JSP) is a technology that lets you mix regular, static HTML with dynamically-generated HTML. Many Web pages that are built by CGI programs are mostly static, with the dynamic part limited to a few small locations. But most CGI variations, including servlets, make you generate the entire page vi

14、a your program, even though most of it is always the same. JSP lets you create the two parts separately. Heres an example: Welcome to Our StoreWelcome to Our StoreWelcome, To access your account settings, clickhere.Regular HTML for all the rest of the on-line stores Web page.4. What are the Advantag

15、es of JSP? vs. Active Server Pages (ASP). ASP is a similar technology from Microsoft. The advantages of JSP are twofold. First, the dynamic part is written in Java, not Visual Basic or other MS-specific language, so it is more powerful and easier to use. Second, it is portable to other operating sys

16、tems and non-Microsoft Web servers. vs. Pure Servlets. JSP doesnt give you anything that you couldnt in principle do with a servlet. But it is more convenient to write (and to modify!) regular HTML than to have a zillion println statements that generate the HTML. Plus, by separating the look from th

17、e content you can put different people on different tasks: your Web page design experts can build the HTML, leaving places for your servlet programmers to insert the dynamic content. vs. Server-Side Includes (SSI). SSI is a widely-supported technology for including externally-defined pieces into a s

18、tatic Web page. JSP is better because it lets you use servlets instead of a separate program to generate that dynamic part. Besides, SSI is really only intended for simple inclusions, not for real programs that use form data, make database connections, and the like. vs. JavaScript. JavaScript can ge

19、nerate HTML dynamically on the client. This is a useful capability, but only handles situations where the dynamic information is based on the clients environment. With the exception of cookies, HTTP and form submission data is not available to JavaScript. And, since it runs on the client, JavaScript

20、 cant access server-side resources like databases, catalogs, pricing information, and the like. vs. Static HTML. Regular HTML, of course, cannot contain dynamic information. JSP is so easy and convenient that it is quite feasible to augment HTML pages that only benefit marginally by the insertion of

21、 small amounts of dynamic data. Previously, the cost of using dynamic data would preclude its use in all but the most valuable instances. OverviewJavaServer Pages (JSP) lets you separate the dynamic part of your pages from the static HTML. You simply write the regular HTML in the normal manner, usin

22、g whatever Web-page-building tools you normally use. You then enclose the code for the dynamic parts in special tags, most of which start with . For example, here is a section of a JSP page that results in something like Thanks for ordering Core Web Programmingfor URL of http:/host/OrderConfirmation

23、.jsp?title=Core+Web+Programming: Thanks for ordering aYou normally give your file a .jsp extension, and typically install it in any place you could place a normal Web page. Although what you write often looks more like a regular HTML file than a servlet, behind the scenes, the JSP page just gets con

24、verted to a normal servlet, with the static HTML simply being printed to the output stream associated with the servlets service method. This is normally done the first time the page is requested, and developers can simply request the page themselves when first installing it if they want to be sure t

25、hat the first real user doesnt get a momentary delay when the JSP page is translated to a servlet and the servlet is compiled and loaded. Note also that many Web servers let you define aliases that so that a URL that appears to reference an HTML file really points to a servlet or JSP page. Aside fro

26、m the regular HTML, there are three main types of JSP constructs that you embed in a page: scripting elements, directives, and actions. Scripting elements let you specify Java code that will become part of the resultant servlet, directives let you control the overall structure of the servlet, and ac

27、tions let you specify existing components that should be used, and otherwise control the behavior of the JSP engine. To simplify the scripting elements, you have access to a number of predefined variables such as request in the snippet above. Note that this tutorial covers version 1.0 of the JSP spe

28、cification. JSP has changed dramatically since version 0.92, and although these changes were almost entirely for the better, you should note that version 1.0 JSP pages are almost totally incompatible with the earlier JSP engines. 2.

36、er type, asking that an applet be run using the Java Plugin. 3. Template Text: Static HTMLIn many cases, a large percent of your JSP page just consists of static HTML, known as template text. In all respects except one, this HTML looks just like normal HTML, follows all the same syntax rules, and is

37、 simply passed through to the client by the servlet created to handle the page. Not only does the HTML look normal, it can be created by whatever tools you already are using for building Web pages. For example, I used Allaires HomeSite for most of the JSP pages in this tutorial. The one minor except

38、ion to the template text is passed straight through rule is that, if you want to have % in the output, you need to put % in the template text. 4. JSP Scripting ElementsJSP scripting elements let you insert Java code into the servlet that will be generated from the current JSP page. There are three f

39、orms: 1. Expressions of the form that are evaluated and inserted into the output, 2. Scriptlets of the form that are inserted into the servlets service method, and 3. Declarations of the form that are inserted into the body of the servlet class, outside of any existing methods. Each of these is desc

40、ribed in more detail below. 4.1 JSP ExpressionsA JSP expression is used to insert Java values directly into the output. It has the following form: The Java expression is evaluated, converted to a string, and inserted in the page. This evaluation is performed at run-time (when the page is requested),

41、 and thus has full access to information about the request. For example, the following shows the date/time that the page was requested: Current time: To simplify these expressions, there are a number of predefined variables that you can use. These implicit objects are discussed in more detail later,

42、 but for the purpose of expressions, the most important ones are: request, the HttpServletRequest; response, the HttpServletResponse; session, the HttpSession associated with the request (if any); and out, the PrintWriter (a buffered version of type JspWriter) used to send output to the client. Here

43、s an example: Your hostname: Finally, note that XML authors can use an alternative syntax for JSP expressions: Java ExpressionRemember that XML elements, unlike HTML ones, are case sensitive. So be sure to use lowercase. 4.2 JSP ScriptletsIf you want to do something more complex than insert a simple

44、 expression, JSP scriptlets let you insert arbitrary code into the servlet method that will be built to generate the page. Scriptlets have the following form: Scriptlets have access to the same automatically defined variables as expressions. So, for example, if you want output to appear in the resultant page, you would use the out variable. Note that code inside a scriptlet gets inserted exactly as written,
