Use this task to provide a summary of the WebSphere® Application Server extensions
that you can use to develop servlets.
About this task
Several WebSphere Application Server extensions are provided
for enhancing your servlets. This task provides a summary of the extensions
that you can utilize.
Procedure
- Review the supported specifications.
Create Java™ components,
referring to the Servlet specifications from Sun Microsystems.
The
application server includes its own packages that extend and add to the Java Servlet
Application Programming Interface (API). These extensions and additions make
it easier to manage session states, create personalized Web pages, generate
better servlet error reports, and access databases. Locate the API documentation
for the application server APIs in the install_root\web\apidocs directory
for the default installation. All of the public Application Server APIs
are located in the com.ibm.websphere packages, however, com.ibm.websphere.servlet
package is specific to the product servlet APIs.
- Use your favorite integrated development environment (IDE), or
a text editor, to develop or migrate code artifacts that meet the specifications.
- Test the code artifacts.
What to do next
Assemble your code artifacts into a Web module using assembly
tools as a prerequisite to deploying the code to the application server.
