Java Servlets Tutorial

About this course

Build practical skills to design and implement dynamic web applications using Java Servlets and JDBC. You’ll begin with Java EE architecture, servlet fundamentals, lifecycle methods, HTTP GET and POST handling, and Tomcat server configuration. You’ll then use ServletConfig and ServletContext to manage initialization settings and shared application data. As you progress, you’ll apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, manage request flow with RequestDispatcher, and choose between forwarding and redirection. You’ll also generate dynamic HTML and maintain user state using cookies, hidden fields, URL rewriting, and HTTP sessions. Database-focused lessons introduce relational database concepts, SQL commands, transactions, DDL, DML, and constraints before connecting servlets to databases with JDBC for CRUD operations. Designed for aspiring backend developers, Java programmers, and learners interested in Java web development, this course emphasizes guided, hands-on implementation. You’ll configure and deploy servlet applications, manage sessions, authenticate users, integrate relational databases, and implement servlet filters for request interception. The course culminates in a complete registration and login system combining Java Servlets, JDBC, SQL, authentication, and session management—giving you an end-to-end application that connects the course concepts in practice.
