Implementing Basic Methods for an HTTP Servlet

When you use the Create HTTP Servlet wizard to create an HTTP servlet, the wizard creates a Java class for the servlet. This class contains an initialization method and the HTTP methods you specified for the servlet when using the wizard. To customize the servlet, you must implement the servlet's HTTP methods.

The following methods are available from the Create HTTP Servlet wizard:

doGet handles GET, conditional GET, and HEAD requests
doPost handles POST requests
doPut handles PUT requests
doDelete handles DELETE requests
service handles Service requests

JDeveloper creates skeleton code for these methods. These methods take two objects as arguments: HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse.

You can also pass in additional parameters and get them programmatically by calling the ServletRequest.getParameter method within your servlet's Java code.
