Servlet Programs

Q.1) Create a servlet for creating a filter to check whether a user is valid or not

import javax.servlet.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

import java.io.*;

public class UserValidationFilter implements Filter {

public void init(FilterConfig config) throws ServletException {}

public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) throws

IOException, ServletException {

HttpServletRequest httpRequest = (HttpServletRequest) request;

HttpServletResponse httpResponse = (HttpServletResponse) response;

// Assuming user validation is done through session attribute

HttpSession session = httpRequest.getSession();

String user = (String) session.getAttribute("user");

if (user != null) {

chain.doFilter(request, response); // User is valid, continue the request

} else {

httpResponse.sendRedirect("login.jsp"); // Redirect to login page if invalid

}
public void destroy() {}

Q.2) Create a servlet to access user info using Cookie

import javax.servlet.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

import java.io.*;

public class UserInfoCookieServlet extends HttpServlet {

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws

ServletException, IOException {

Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();

String username = null;

if (cookies != null) {

for (Cookie cookie : cookies) {

if (cookie.getName().equals("username")) {

username = cookie.getValue();

response.setContentType("text/html");

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

out.println("<h1>Welcome, " + username + "</h1>");

} else {

out.println("<h1>No user information found in cookies</h1>");

Q.3) Create a servlet to destroy user info by deleting cookie

import javax.servlet.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

import java.io.*;

public class DestroyUserInfoServlet extends HttpServlet {

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws

ServletException, IOException {

Cookie cookie = new Cookie("username", ""); // Create a blank cookie

cookie.setMaxAge(0); // Set the age of the cookie to 0, which will delete it

response.addCookie(cookie);

response.setContentType("text/html");

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

out.println("<h1>User info deleted from cookies</h1>");

}
}

Q.4) Create a servlet to access user info using Hidden form Field

import javax.servlet.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

import java.io.*;

public class HiddenFieldServlet extends HttpServlet {

protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws

ServletException, IOException {

String username = request.getParameter("username");

response.setContentType("text/html");

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

out.println("<h1>Welcome, " + username + "</h1>");

Q.5) Create a servlet to access user info using UrlRewriting

import javax.servlet.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

import java.io.*;

public class URLRewritingServlet extends HttpServlet {

ServletException, IOException {

String username = request.getParameter("username");

// URL Rewriting

String encodedURL = response.encodeURL("WelcomeServlet?username=" + username);

response.setContentType("text/html");

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

out.println("<a href='" + encodedURL + "'>Go to Welcome Page</a>");

Q.6) Create a servlet to snoop all the information about current session

import javax.servlet.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

import java.io.*;

public class SessionInfoServlet extends HttpServlet {

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws

ServletException, IOException {

HttpSession session = request.getSession();

response.setContentType("text/html");

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

out.println("Session ID: " + session.getId());

out.println("<br>Creation Time: " + new java.util.Date(session.getCreationTime()));

out.println("<br>Last Accessed Time: " + new java.util.Date(session.getLastAccessedTime()));

Q.7) Create a servlet to destroy the user info by invalidating session

import javax.servlet.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

import java.io.*;

public class InvalidateSessionServlet extends HttpServlet {

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws

ServletException, IOException {

HttpSession session = request.getSession();

session.invalidate(); // Invalidates the session

response.setContentType("text/html");

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

out.println("<h1>User session invalidated</h1>");

Q.8) Create a Listener using ServletContextListener to listen the event on creating and destroying
Context Parameters on a servlet

import javax.servlet.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

import javax.servlet.annotation.*;

import java.util.*;

@WebListener

public class ContextListener implements ServletContextListener {

public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {

ServletContext context = sce.getServletContext();

context.setAttribute("appStart", new Date());

System.out.println("Context Initialized: " + context.getAttribute("appStart"));

public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce) {

ServletContext context = sce.getServletContext();

System.out.println("Context Destroyed: " + context.getAttribute("appStart"));

Q.9) Create a Listener using HttpSessionListener to listen the event on creating and destroying

session of a servlet

import javax.servlet.*;

import javax.servlet.annotation.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;

@WebListener

public class SessionListener implements HttpSessionListener {

public void sessionCreated(HttpSessionEvent se) {

HttpSession session = se.getSession();

System.out.println("Session Created: " + session.getId());

public void sessionDestroyed(HttpSessionEvent se) {

HttpSession session = se.getSession();

System.out.println("Session Destroyed: " + session.getId());

Q.10) Create a servlet that establishes a Database Connection successfully using JDBC Connection

and create a table in the database

import javax.servlet.*;

import javax.servlet.http.*;

import java.io.*;

import java.sql.*;

public class DBConnectionServlet extends HttpServlet {

protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws

ServletException, IOException {
try {

// Establish DB connection

Class.forName("com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver");

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mydb", "root",

"password");

// Create a table

Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();

String createTableSQL = "CREATE TABLE Employees (ID INT PRIMARY KEY

AUTO_INCREMENT, Name VARCHAR(255), Age INT)";

stmt.executeUpdate(createTableSQL);

response.setContentType("text/html");

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();

out.println("<h1>Database Connection Successful & Table Created</h1>");

conn.close();

} catch (Exception e) {

e.printStackTrace();
