Java Servlets

Servlets interact with databases. Servlets pull information from the database and deliver it in any format the user requests. For instance, if you wanted sales information about a particular title from all bookstores selling on the internet, a servlet would be able to grab that information and present it to you in the form you wanted. This book is for the professional who is writing code for these servlets.
