Java Servlets
Your hosting account now offers support for Java Servlets. Servlets are server-side Java code for powering dynamic pages, much like CGI/Perl scripts
but with better performance and some interesting new functionality. When you select the "Java Servlets" button in your Control Panel you'll be offered the choice to create a servlet zone where your servlets will live.
The following are some basic details about our support for servlets, and some useful links to tutorials, sample code, and sources for additional information. As with CGI/Perl scripts we cannot debug your code, but we'll be glad to point you in the right direction when you get stuck!
Servlet Engine: Apache Jserv 1.1.2
Java Development Kit (JDK): 1.1.7B
Servlets Intro
The Servlets Intro teaches you about servlets, the bodies of code that run inside servers, and extend their functionality. For example, servlets offer an efficient platform-independent replacement for CGI scripts. Servers that can host servlets are Java-enabled servers that respond to client requests.

About Servlets
In general, Java servlets are programs that sit on a web server and interact in some way with web clients. Specifically, servlets are a great way to replace tired, old CGI programs.
