6. Question
• Synchronous I/O
• Definition
– A synchronous I/O operation causes the
requesting process to be blocked until that I/O
operation completes.

7. Question
• How to solve multiple I/O devices?
• Use select()
A
B
A
Select()
device

8. Question
• 手動讓process休眠
DEFINE_WAIT(my_wqentry);
初始化一個待命佇列項目
void prepare_to_wait(wait_queue_head_t *queue, wait_queue_t *my_wqentry, int state);
將待命佇列項目加進佇列
prepare_to_wait();
可以開始休眠
schedule();
重新加入排程
void finish_wait(wait_queue_head_t *queue, wait_queue_t *my_wqentry);
把柱列項目清除

9. Question
• Asynchronous Notification
– 當新資料進來時獲得通知
– 執行優先度低，無法使用輪詢
fcntl(STDIN_FILENO, F_SETOWN, getpid());
讓核心知道通知對象是誰
fcntl(STDIN_FILENO, FSETFL, oflags | FASYNC);
啟動臨時通知

10. Question
• 同時存取database
– Locking
– Timestamp
– Multiversion concurrency control

11. Outline
• Introduction
• CGI
• Servlet
• Implement of Servlet
• JSP
• Conclusion

12. Introduction
• You can use JSP or servlet to solve dynamic
web page needs. JSP is web page design
oriented, and servlet is program designed
oriented. Knowing their character can
cooperate two expertise and make the
achievement better.

13. CGI
• Common Gateway Interface
• A standard method for web server software to
delegate the generation of web content to
executable files.
• Web server send request to external program,
and the program response with static file.

14. CGI
Web Server
CGI Program Database
Web Browser
1. Request
2. Input data
3. May access database
4. Response as HTML doc
Figure: CGI workflow

15. CGI
• CGI can designed as any computer language.
Perl is the most popular.
• When server receive a request, it produce a
new process to execute CGI program.
• Consume many memory.
• Each CGI program is isolated.

16. Servlet
• In order to solve the disadvantage of CGI,
servlet is developed.
• Servlet is designed to substitute CGI.
• The word servlet is composed of “server” and
“let”. In Java, “let” means small application.
• Servlet is run in server side, and applet is run
in client side.

17. Servlet
Client Browser Web Server
Servlet Container
Servlet
1. Browser
requests page
2. Web server
delegates to container
3. Container executes servlet,
creating instance if required
4. Servlet executes,
generates response
5. Server
returns response
Figure: Servlet workflow

18. Servlet
• Web container
– Execute JSP and servlet.
– Like Java only recognizes JVM, servlet/JSP only
recognizes web container.
– Parsing HTTP request, create instance like
HttpServletRequest、 HttpServletResponse、
HttpSession

19. Servlet
• Servlet life cycle
– void init()
• When servlet is first loaded, initialize servlet status
– void service()
• Serve a request. Can be called multiple times.
– void destroy()
• Dispose servlet.

20. Servlet
• Since the output of servlet is HTML, the usage
of servlets doesn’t constrain by browser.
• No matter how many requests, only one
servlet will be loaded into JVM.
• When there is a request, there is a thread, not
process.
• Servlets is persistent until be deystroyed.

21. Implement of Servlet
• Environment – oracle java jdk 1.7.0
• Add path to environment variables
– JAVA_HOME
– PATH
– CLASSPATH

22. Implement of Servlet
• Download Apache-Tomcat-7.0.42
• Use tomcat as web server and web container

23. Implement of Servlet

24. Implement of Servlet
• javax.servlet
– The javax.servlet package contains a number of
classes and interfaces that describe and define the
contracts between a servlet class and the runtime
environment provided for an instance of such a
class by a conforming servlet container

25. Implement of Servlet
• javax.servlet.http
– The javax.servlet.http package contains a number
of classes and interfaces that describe and define
the contracts between a servlet class running
under the HTTP protocol and the runtime
environment provided for an instance of such a
class by a conforming servlet container.

26. Implement of Servlet
• javax.servlet

27. Implement of Servlet
• javax.servlet.http

28. Implement of Servlet
• service() can handle doGet() and doPost()
• Get
– The request parameter shows on URL
– Not proper for password
– Not too long data
– Good for setting as tags or bookmarks
– Don’t change the status of server

29. Implement of Servlet
• Post
– The request parameter is in Body
– Good for password
– Good for long data
– Not proper for tags or bookmarks
– May change content of database

30. Implement of Servlet
• HttpServletRequest
– The object of client sending request to server
– E.g. Form input data
• HttpServletResponse
– The object of server responding to client
– E.g. Show HTML doc on browser

31. Implement of Servlet
• HttpServletResponseObjectName.setContentType(“ContentType”)
• E.g. res.serContentTyoe(“text/html;charset=Big5”)

32. Implement of Servlet
• In order to show information on web page,
use HttpServletResponse object create a
PrintWriter object.
• And use PrintWriter to write HTML tags.

33. Implement of Servlet
• Write web.xml
• /WEB-INF/
/classes/
| |HelloServlet.class
|web.xml

34. Implement of Servlet
• Web.xml
– Used to configure welcome page、 servlet 、
filter
– Run before load servlet
url-pattern
servlet-name
servlet-class

35. Implement of Servlet
• The result

36. JSP
• HelloWorld.java

37. JSP
• HelloWorld.jsp
• A JSP page is basically a web page with
traditional HTML and bits of Java code.

38. JSP
Figure: JSP workflow

39. JSP
• When a JSP file is accessed, the container
converts it into a Java class that implements
the javax.servlet.jsp.HttpJspPage interface.
The various JSP building blocks are translated
into Java code and compiled into a Servlet.

40. JSP
• The element of JSP can be divided into three
kinds
– Directive
• Definite the static information of web page.
– Action
• Send data according to the request of client.
– Scripting
• Small piece of java code. Only execute if client request.

41. JSP
directive
action
scripting

42. JSP
• Implicit object
• Corresponds to an object in servlet
• out
– corresponds to JspWriter, which associates
PrintWriter
• Request
– corresponds to HttpServletRequest
• Response
– corresponds to HttpServletResponse

43. JSP

44. Conclusion
• Deal with JSP is easier than with servlet.
• Knowing how to write JSP code is helpful in
developing server-side web design.
