Configuring the Web Application

The init-param element contains a name/value pair as initialization parameter of the

servlet. For example:

<servlet-name>

your alias servlet name

</servlet-name>

<servlet-class>

your servlet name

</servlet-class>

<init-param>

<param-name>name1</param-name>

<param-value>value1</param-value>

<param-name>name2</param-name>

<param-value>value2</param-value>

</init-param>

</servlet>

As noted previously, the servlet name is an alias of the servlet class name. The alias

allows you to change the name of the class without having to make changes to URL

references to the servlet in the application. If you have no need of this feature, use the

same name in both places.

Configuring the Web Application

A web application is a collection of servlets, HTML pages, images, JavaServer Pages,

a deployment descriptor and other configuration files all in one location. The web

application is organized as a structured hierarchy of directories that can be packaged

or unpackaged from a web application archive (WAR) file.

There are two parts to the directory structure:

•

A public area for resources such as HTML pages and images that can be used for

downloading to clients for directly rendering on the browser.

•

A private area with the root WEB-INF, which contains configuration files such as

the web.xml deployment descriptor, servlet classes and library files - resources

that require a managed lifecycle.
