What is Java Servlet?

In: JSP and Servlets [Edit categories]

Answer:

A java servlet is the heart of a Java Enterprise web application. It contains most of the business logic that the web application needs. The initial web application technologies did not have capabilities to support dynamic contents in a secure and efficient way. Java Servlets were created to address this drawback. Servlets are used in many types of Java EE applications using technologies like Struts, MVC etc.
