 2. Create a servlet source code using your favorite texteditor

    1. Inside the servlet put source code to generate a HTML page

 3. Run and test it (e.g. using servletrunner.exe)

    -Call it by typing the URL in your favorite browser

      (e.g.

        http://localhost:8080\servlet\myservletcode?myparameters

     or inputting this URL as the ACTION in a FORM (using GET and POST)

    -When this URL reaches the Java complient Web server, it will
     pass this URL completely to the ServletRequest object
     in this servlet.

     The servlet has library routines to e.g. extract the parameters
     from this URL, which it can handle further.

 Step 4. Inside the servlet put source code to generate a HTML page

      e.g. -JDBC code to connect to a database

           -Create a HTML page, by printing the output of the database,
            which is stored in the ResultSet variables.

            This output is sent back via the ServletResponse object.
