[Advance Java] - Features of a Web Conatiner ?


Communications support The container provides an easy way for your servlets to talk to your web server. You don’t have to build a ServerSocket, listen on a port, create streams, etc. The Container knows the protocol between the web server and itself, so that your servlet doesn’t have to worry about an API between, say, the Apache web server and your own web application code. All you have to worry about is your own business logic that goes in your Servlet (like accepting an order from your online store). 


Lifecycle Management The Container controls the life and death of your servlets. It takes care of loading the classes, instantiating and initializing the servlets, invoking the servlet methods, and making servlet instances eligible for garbage collection. With the Container in control, you don’t have to worry as much about resource management. 


Multithreading Support The Container automatically creates a new Java thread for every servlet request it receives. When the servlet’s done running the HTTP service method for that client’s request, the thread completes (i.e. dies). This doesn’t mean you’re off the hook for thread safety—you can still run into synchronization issues. But having the server create and manage threads for multiple requests still saves you a lot of work. 


Declarative Security With a Container, you get to use an XML deployment descriptor to configure (and modify) security without having to hard-code it into your servlet (or any other) class code. Think about that! You can manage and change your security without touching and recompiling your Java source files. 


JSP Support You already know how cool JSPs are. Well, who do you think takes care of translating that JSP code into real Java? Of course. The Container.

How to Choose a Technology Stack for Web Application Development

What’s the most important thing to consider when you’re developing a top-notch web application? No doubt it’s the technology stack your app will be based upon.  The choice of a relevant tech stack is particularly challenging for small businesses and startups, since they usually have limited budgets and, thus, need a technology stack that provides the most bang for the buck to get their projects off the ground. The right tech stack is, to a great extent, the key to your project’s success, while the wrong choice of web development technologies may be a reason for failure. We’ve decided to give you a helping hand and reveal the criteria for choosing the most appropriate tech stack for your web application. WHAT IS A TECHNOLOGY STACK FOR WEB DEVELOPMENT Before moving on to the criteria for choosing a modern web technology stack, you should clearly understand what comprises the process of web development. Without going too deep into details, there are two sides to web de

Setting ESLint on a React Typescript project

Image
  Introduction After struggling a lot trying to install and understand ESLint on my React Typescript project, I decided to create a definitive guide to setting ESLint to a React Typescript project. The main goal of this tutorial is to set up step-by-step and explain every line added or executed, instead of just giving you a bunch of files with a lot of configurations and expecting that you will be able to understand what and how things are happening. So, let’s start! Prerequisites Note: You need Node version >= 10 installed. So, if you don’t have it, please go to the NodeJS website, and download and install it on your local machine. ( https://nodejs.org/en/ ) Step 1: Create a React Project with Typescript The following command will create a project inside a folder  my-app . On the terminal, run: npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript Step 2: Removing the pre-set ESLint configuration from React project React comes with an eslint configuration pre-setted. Let’s remove this
