A servlet is a mechanism in Java to provide dynamic Web content by processing HTTP
requests and returning HTTP responses in the form of HTML and XML. To create a servlet

Figure 3.17; then click Finish.
Figure 3.17 - Creating a servlet
3. An editor will be started and will open the file HelloWorld.java which will
include a template that makes it easy to write Servlet code. Add the following
lines to the doGet method and save it:
try{
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("Hello World");
}
catch(Throwable theException){
theException.printStackTrace();
}
