What is logging?

*Logging* -A file detailing steps and actions that took place during the apps execution. -Used to ID issues outside of the IDE console since a user typically can't see it.

What is the servlet inheritance tree?

*Look at image*

RequestDispather vs SendRedirect

*RequestDispatcher* - Provided by the request - Address of new location is hidden - Maintains request and response data, all done within the same request life-cycle. - All redirection is handled on the server by the web container. - Faster - Cannot redirect outside of it's server *SendRedirect* - Provided by the response - Address of new location is shown - A completely new request is made to the new location empty of all input - Slower

What is a XSD?

*XSD - XML Schema Definition File* 1) Works the same as DTD 2) Has more power than the DTD by enforcing datatypes. 3) You can manipulate the DOM

Using cookies

Using what is know as the "Grid System"

What are the 3 components of Log4J?

*Logger* - The tool that makes a log message at a given point in the application *Appender* - Determines where the info will be written (to console, to file, to html etc...) *Layout* - Determines what kind of info is logged and how it is ordered.

What is PrintWriter?

- A class that gives Print formatted representations of objects to a text-output stream - Used to print HTML code through the servlet to the HTML file

What is the difference between a servlet config and servlet context?

*Servlet Config* - Parameters are specified for a particular servlet and are unknown to other servlets. - It is used for initializing purpose - Each servlet gets their own config. *Servlet Context* - Parameters are specified for an entire application outside of any particular servlet and are available to all the servlets within that application. - It has its application scoped and thus globally accessible across the pages.

URI vs URL

*URI:* - Uniform Resource Identifier - URIs are identifiers, and that can mean name, location, or both. *URL:* - Uniform Resource Location - The part that makes something a URL is the combination of the name and an access method, such as https://, or mailto:.

What is a front controller?

- A design pattern that aims to create a servlet which acts as the first point of contact for all requests. - It aims to delegate them to their proper end point, but must be the first servlet to determine where they go.

What is a Filter Servlet?

- A servlet that serves to intercept requests and responses before they reach their goal servlet that they were intended to begin with. - A filter is typically used to authenticate credentials or session, or provide a logging opportunity.

What is a session?

- A session is a java object that is temporary, interactive information interchange between two or more communicating devices - May store data that you want access to across requests. - Each user that visits your website should have a unique session. - You can use sessions to store and access user data as they browse your application.

What is a singleton?

- A singleton class is a design pattern that only allows a single instantiated instance of a class. - You do this by making the constructor private and having a static method of ""getInstance"" that will be a pointer to a local copy. - NOTE, in general it's NOT thread safe"

Using cookies

- A text document with key-value pairs stored on the client side that the server will accept in order to track data. - More secured and easier to track the hidden fields and url re-writing. - BUT isn't the most secure method due to the fact that cookies are stored on the client side and can be edited by them. *Only way to delete a cookie is to set its maxAge = 0*

Hidden Fields How are they used?

- Hidden value type that is never displayed to the average user. - The average user cannot change the value of the field, or interact with it. - When the user submits the form, all of the data they have entered is sent, including the data stored invisibly in the hidden fields. - It can have value that represents the session ID for tracking purposes - These require that the ID be maintained which have the same problems as URL rewriting.

What is a doctype declaration?

- It is the !DOCTYPE header. - This allows the browser to view this as an HTML page and which version of html to use. *<!DOCTYPE html>

Using JSessions

- Most secure way to deal with sessions. - They are provided by Servlet APIs - Store both a cookie on the client side and on the server side. - Requires both sides to match, if they match the session is retained for the user.

What is URL rewriting?

- Re-appending to the URL when moved to a new page - Requires developer to generate a unique ID per user. - Hard to maintain ID throughout pages since HTTP is stateless - Stateless means no information is retained b/t separate requests.

What is servlet config?

- ServletConfig object is created by web container for each servlet to pass information to a servlet during initialization. - This object is used to get configuration information from web.xml (aka Deployment Descriptor) file.

What are some things to know about GET HTTP method?

- Stores all data in the URL - Exposes passwords - Limits data to max size of URL - Use when requesting data - Do NOT use for logging in

What are somethings to know about POST HTTP method?

- Stores data in the body of a request - Unlimited space for data

What is servlet context?

- The servlet context is an interface which helps to communicate with other servlets. - It contains information to communicate to the Web application and container.

What are the servlet XML tags to know?

-1) prologue 0) webapp 1) *Display Name* - Purely descriptive 1.5) context-param 2) *Welcome-file-list* - serves to house all the of the files that your web app will search for as the landing page (homepage). They do not need to be reached specifically by name. They will be what is searched for in the event you go to website.com which doesn't specify a specific file. 3) *Welcome-file* is the index.html file Servlet tag houses the details about a specific servlet 4) *Servlet-name* is very important as it serves as the link b/t sibling tags in this document 5) *Servlet-class* Location of the physical class for the servlet 6) *Servlet-mapping* takes a <servlet> and provides details of the uri/url for intercepting the request *Servlet-name will then link the mapping to an above <servlet>*

What are the requirements to make an XML file "Well Formed"?

(optional)

What is the life cycle of a servlet? (detailed overview)

1) A client sends an HTTP request to a server (ryan.com/bobbert) 2) Server takes the request, creates an empty HTTP response, flat file (not extensions). Then sends both of them to the web container. 3) Web Container checks the deployment descriptor to determine if any servlets should receive the request. 4) Web Container wraps the requests and response into their java object counter parts, then sends them to the servlet. 4a) Web Container calls init( ) if the servlet is NOT instantiated 4b) Web Container sends requests and response to service( ) in its thread and receives altered response 4c) Destroy called on web container upon server shutdown (or timeout) 5) Finished response and request received by the web container. 6) Passes unwrapped results to server 7) Server passes back to client or user

What is the life cycle of a servlet? (quick overview)

1) A server loads and initializes the servlet by init () method. 2) The servlet handles zero or more client's requests through service() method. 3) The server removes the servlet through destroy() method.

What are the log severity levels?

1) All 2) Trace - typically used before every possible method on path in code 3) Debug - typically used before every method 4) Info - precedes key actions in the app 5) Warn - precedes actions that behave in an incorrect manner that may break app 6) Error - precedes actions that have crashed the app or sets the stage fo an imminent crash 7) Fatal -precedes actions that lead to an unrecoverable crash 8) None

A cookie is simply a text document with key value pairs stored on the client side that the server will accept in order to track data from the specific computer. It's more secure than hidden files and URL rewriting and easier to set up and track. However, it is not the MOST secure way due to the fact that cookies are stored client side and can be edited client side as well.
