In the HTML, the Ò/Beer-v1/Ó isnÕt
part of the path. In the HTML, it
just says:
<form method=ÓPOSTÓ
action=ÓSelectBeer.doÓ>
But the browser prepends Ò/Beer-v1/Ó
on to the request, because thatÕs where
the client request is coming from. In
other words, the ÒSelectBeer.doÓ in
the HTML is relative to the URL of
the page its on. In this case, relative to
the root of the web app, Ò/Beer-v1Ó.
The host

Instantiate the BeerExpert
class and call getBrands().
Print out the advice (beer brand
items in the ArrayList returned
from the model). In the Þnal (third)
version, the advice will be printed
from a JSP instead of the servlet.
DonÕt forget the import for the
package that BeerExpert is in.
WeÕre modifying the original servlet,
not making a new class.

Use the request dispatcher to ask

the Container to crank up the JSP,
sending it the request and response.
Now that the JSP is going to
produce the output, we should
remove the test output from the
servlet. We commented it out so
that you could still see it here.
Add an attribute to the request
object for the JSP to use. Notice
the JSP is looking for ÒstylesÓ.
Instantiate a request
dispatcher for the JSP.

(Each request runs in a
separate thread.)
Your servlet class no-arg constructor runs
(you should NOT write a constructor; just
use the compiler-supplied default).
Called only ONCE in the servletÕs
life, and must complete before
Container can call service().
Container calls to give the servlet
a chance to clean up before the
servlet is killed (i.e., made ready for
garbage collection). Like init(), itÕs
called only once.
This is where the servlet
spends most of its life.

GenericServlet is an abstract class that
implements most of the basic servlet
methods youÕll need, including those from
the Servlet interface. You will probably
NEVER extend this class yourself. Most
of your servletÕs Òservlet behaviorÓ comes
from this class.

HttpServlet (also an abstract class) implements
the service() method to reß ect the HTTPness
of the servlet the service() method doesnÕt
take just ANY old servlet request and response,
but an HTTP-speciÞ c request and response.
The Servlet interface says
that all servlets have these
Þ ve methods (the three in
bold are lifecycle methods).

Most of your servletness is handled by superclass methods.
All you do is override the HTTP methods you need.
NOTE: do NOT try to
memorize all of these
now! Just get a feel for
how the API works
