Part III: Supporting Technologies

Part III covers three topics that are commonly used in conjunction 

with servlets and JSP: HTML forms, applets talking to servlets, and 

JDBC. Topics include:

Sending data from forms

Text controls

Push buttons

Check boxes and radio buttons

Combo boxes and list boxes

File upload controls

Server side image maps

Hidden fields

Grouping controls

Tab ordering

A Web server for debugging forms

Sending GET data from an applet and having the browser 

display the results

Having applets send GET data and process the results 

themselves (HTTP tunneling)

Using object serialization to exchange high level data structures 

between applets and servlets

Having applets send POST data and process the results 

themselves

Applets bypassing the HTTP server altogether
