4.2.1.2: Servlet support and environment in WebSphere

IBM WebSphere Application Server supports the Java Servlet API from Sun Microsystems. The product builds upon the specification in two ways.

Article 4.2.1.2.2 describes several IBM extensions to the specification to make it easier to manage session state, create personalized Web pages, generate better servlet error reports, and access databases.

Article 4.2.1.2.3 describes some complimentary servlets included with the product. Add them to Web applications for extended functionality. You can use the WebSphere servlets as they are, or use them as a basis for creating customized versions.

Beginning with version 3.5.2, WebSphere Application Server added support for the Java Servlet API 2.2 from Sun Microsystems. See article 4.2.1.2.1a for a description of the Servlet API 2.2 specification.
