Servlet Labs

In this lab we will change the output of an existing dynamic webapp and deploy it to Tomcat.

  1. In JavaWebIntro/src/main/webapp/index.html, add a link to inventory with the text List Inventory.

  2. Note: the link's destination is not inventory.html or /inventory.

  3. In JavaWebIntro/src/com.example.javaweb.labs.InventoryServlet:

  4. After <body>, add a h1 header to the output stream, that says Inventory. Use HelloWorldServlet as an example for adding HTML to the response. 

    pw.println(" <h1>Inventory</h1>");

  5. Add the products to the response as an unordered list. 

    pw.println("<ul>");
for (String s : inventory) {
  pw.println("<li>");
  pw.println(s);
  pw.println("</li>");
}
pw.println("</ul>");

  6. Run the project on the Tomcat server and access the servlet via index.html.

  7. (Optional) Add Bootstrap configuration in the output's <head>, and place the content in a <div class="container">.

(Solution: JavaWebIntro/src/main/webapp/index2.html, JavaWebIntro/src/com.example.javaweb.solutions.labs.InventoryServlet )
