Advanced Jakarta Servlets: Servlet Chaining Techniques

An application with a single monolithic servlet class that handled everything would quickly become unmanageable. So, the servlet architecture provides several ways of interconnecting servlets, which makes the application more modular and helps with complex use cases.In this course, explore servlet chaining, the RequestDispatcher interface, how to use include to embed servlet output, and hybrid servlet chaining. Next, learn how to use absolute and relative paths with request dispatchers, the servlet contexts impact on path resolution, and cross-context request dispatching. Finally, discover how to leverage named dispatchers to map to specific servlets, run multiple servers using Apache Tomcat, and implement cross-server redirects to transfer users between different servers or applications.After completing this course, you will be able to execute servlet chaining techniques.
