Featurtes of servlet 2.4?

>> Monday, June 6, 2011

1.)In this tutorial you will learn the new features added in Servlet 2.4.

   2.) Upgraded supports for Http, J2SE, and J2EE: Servlet 2.4 depends on Http1.1 and J2SE 1.3.
    Additional ServletRequest methods : In Servlet 2.4 four new methods are added in the ServletRequest
        getRemotePort(): It returns the IP source port of the client.
        getLocalName(): It returns the host name on which the request was recieved.
        getLocalAddr(): It returns the IP address on which the request was recieved.
        getLocalPort(): It returns the IP port number.

    3.)New Support for Internationalization and charset choice: To provide support of internationization, Servlet 2.4 has added two new methods in the ServletResponse interface.
        setCharacterEncoding(String encoding): The purpose of this method is to set the response's character encoding.  This method helps us to pass a charset parameter to setContentType(String) or passing a Locale to setLocale(Locale). We can now avoid setting the charset in the setContentType("text/html;charset=UTF-8") as setCharacterEncoding() method pairs with the pre-existing getCharacterEncoding() method to manipulate and view the response's character encoding.
        
        4.)getContentType(): It is responsible for returning the response's content type. The content type can be dynamically set with a combination of setContentType(), setLocale(), and setCharacterEncoding() calls, and the method getContentType() provides a way to view the generated type string.

   5.)New features has been added in RequestDispatcher: In Servlet 2.4 five new request attributes has been added for providing extra information during a RequestDispatcher forward() call. This features has been added is Servlet 2.4 to know the true original request URI. The following request attributes are:
        javax.servlet.forward.request_uri
        javax.servlet.forward.context_path
        javax.servlet.forward.servlet_path
        javax.servlet.forward.path_info
        javax.servlet.forward.query_string

 6.)SingleThreadModel interface has been deprecated: In Servlet 2.4 the SingleThreadModel interface has been deprecated.

7.)HttpSession details and interaction with logins has been clarified: The new method HttpSession.logout() has been added in Servlet 2.4. Now session allows zero or negative values in the <session-timeout> element to indicate sessions should never time out.
    If the object in the session can't be serialize in a distributed environment then it must throw an IllegalArgumentException.

    7.)Welcome file behavior and Classloading has been clarified:
In servlet 2.4 welcome file can be a servlet.

    8.)The web.xml file now uses XML Schema: Version 2.4 servers must still accept the 2.2 and 2.3 deployment descriptor formats, but all new elements are solely specified in Schema.
