サーブレットはJava EEの非常に重要なトピックであり、SpringやStrutsなどのすべてのウェブアプリケーションフレームワークがその上に構築されています。それにより、サーブレットのインタビューの質問はインタビューでよく出題されるトピックになっています。ここでは、Javaのサーブレットとウェブアプリケーションに関連するほとんどのインタビューの質問に対処するために、50のサーブレットのインタビューの質問と回答のリストを提供しています。

サーブレットの面接質問

ウェブアプリケーションのトランスポート層セキュリティを実現するにはどうすればいいですか？

Servletの面接質問と回答

どのHTTPメソッドが非冪等性（実行順序によって結果が変化する）ですか？
HTTPメソッドが同じ結果を返す場合、そのメソッドは冪等性を持つと言われます。冪等性のあるメソッドには、GET、PUT、DELETE、HEAD、OPTIONSがあります。これらのメソッドは常に同じ結果を返すようにアプリケーションを実装する必要があります。一方、HTTPメソッドPOSTは非冪等性のメソッドであり、リクエストごとに変化するものを実装する場合に使用する必要があります。例えば、HTMLページや画像にアクセスする場合はGETを使用する必要があります。なぜなら、常に同じオブジェクトを返すからです。しかし、顧客情報をデータベースに保存する必要がある場合は、POSTメソッドを使用する必要があります。冪等性のあるメソッドは安全なメソッドとも呼ばれ、安全なメソッドに対してクライアントからの繰り返しリクエストが気になりません。

GETメソッドとPOSTメソッドの違いは何ですか？
GETは安全なメソッド（冪等性を持つ）であり、POSTは非冪等性のメソッドです。
GETメソッドでは限られたデータを送信でき、それはヘッダーのリクエストURLに含まれます。一方、POSTメソッドでは大量のデータを送信できます。POSTメソッドはリクエストの本文の一部です。
GETメソッドはデータがURLに公開されるため安全ではありません。そのため、ブックマークすることも簡単で、同様のリクエストを再送信できます。一方、POSTメソッドはデータがリクエスト本文に送信され、ブックマークすることができません。POSTメソッドはセキュアです。
GETはデフォルトのHTTPメソッドですが、POSTメソッドでリクエストを送信するには、明示的にメソッドを指定する必要があります。
ページのハイパーリンクはGETメソッドを使用します。

MIME Typeとは何ですか？
「Content-Type」というレスポンスヘッダーをMIME Typeと言います。サーバーはMIMEタイプをクライアントに送信し、クライアントにデータの種類を伝えます。これにより、クライアントはデータをユーザーに適切に表示することができます。最もよく使用されるMIMEタイプには、text/html、text/xml、application/xmlなどがあります。ServletContextのgetMimeType()メソッドを使用して、ファイルの正しいMIMEタイプを取得し、レスポンスのコンテンツタイプとして設定することができます。サーブレットからサーバーへのファイルのダウンロードには非常に便利です。

ウェブアプリケーションとは何ですか？また、そのディレクトリ構造は何ですか？

Web Applications are modules that run on the server to provide both static and dynamic content to the client browser. Apache webserver supports PHP and we can create a web application using PHP. Java provides web application support through Servlets and JSPs that can run in a servlet container and provide dynamic content to the client browser. Java Web Applications are packaged as Web Archive (WAR) and it has a defined structure like below image. [![WAR-directory-structure](https://scdev.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/2013/08/WAR-directory-structure-450x233.png)](https://scdev.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/2013/08/WAR-directory-structure.png) Read more about web applications at [**Java Web Application**](/community/tutorials/java-web-application-tutorial-for-beginners).

サーブレットとは何ですか？

Java Servlet is server side technologies to extend the capability of web servers by providing support for dynamic response and data persistence. The `javax.servlet` and `javax.servlet.http` packages provide interfaces and classes for writing our own servlets. All servlets must implement the javax.servlet.Servlet interface, which defines servlet lifecycle methods. When implementing a generic service, we can extend the GenericServlet class provided with the Java Servlet API. The HttpServlet class provides methods, such as doGet() and doPost(), for handling HTTP-specific services. Most of the times, web applications are accessed using HTTP protocol and that's why we mostly extend HttpServlet class. Servlet API hierarchy is shown in the below image. [![Servlet-Hierarchy](https://scdev.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/2013/08/Servlet-Hierarchy-450x182.png)](https://scdev.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/2013/08/Servlet-Hierarchy.png) Read more at [**Servlet Tutorial**](/community/tutorials/servlet-jsp-tutorial).

Servletの利点はCGIよりも何ですか？

Servlet technology was introduced to overcome the shortcomings of CGI technology.
-   Servlets provide better performance than CGI in terms of processing time, memory utilization because servlets use benefits of multithreading and for each request, a new thread is created, that is faster than loading creating new Object for each request with CGI.
-   Servlets and platform and system independent, the web application developed with Servlet can be run on any standard web container such as Tomcat, JBoss, Glassfish servers and on operating systems such as Windows, Linux, Unix, Solaris, Mac, etc.
-   Servlets are robust because container takes care of the life cycle of servlet and we don’t need to worry about memory leaks, security, garbage collection, etc.
-   Servlets are maintainable and the learning curve is small because all we need to take care is business logic for our application.

サーブレットコンテナでよく実行されるタスクは何ですか？

Servlet containers are also known as web container, for example, Tomcat. Some of the important tasks of servlet container are:
-   **Communication Support**: Servlet Container provides easy way of communication between web client (Browsers) and the servlets and JSPs. Because of the container, we don’t need to build a server socket to listen for any request from the web client, parse the request and generate a response. All these important and complex tasks are done by container and all we need to focus is on business logic for the applications.
-   **Lifecycle and Resource Management**: Servlet Container takes care of managing the life cycle of servlet. From the loading of servlets into memory, initializing servlets, invoking servlet methods and to destroy them. The container also provides utility like JNDI for resource pooling and management.
-   **Multithreading Support**: Container creates a new thread for every request to the servlet and provides them request and response objects to the processing. So servlets are not initialized for each request and save time and memory.
-   **JSP Support**: JSPs doesn’t look like normal java classes but every JSP in the application is compiled by container and converted to Servlet and then container manages them like other servlets.
-   **Miscellaneous Task**: Servlet container manages the resource pool, perform memory optimizations, execute garbage collector, provides security configurations, support for multiple applications, hot deployment and several other tasks behind the scene that makes a developer life easier.

ServletConfigオブジェクトとは何ですか？

`javax.servlet.ServletConfig` is used to pass configuration information to Servlet. Every servlet has it’s own **ServletConfig** object and servlet container is responsible for instantiating this object. We can provide servlet init parameters in web.xml file or through use of WebInitParam annotation. We can use getServletConfig() method to get the ServletConfig object of the servlet.

ServletContextオブジェクトとは何ですか？

`javax.servlet.ServletContext` interface provides access to web application parameters to the servlet. The ServletContext is unique object and available to all the servlets in the web application. When we want some init parameters to be available to multiple or all of the servlets in the web application, we can use ServletContext object and define parameters in web.xml using <context-param> element. We can get the ServletContext object via the _getServletContext()_ method of ServletConfig. Servlet containers may also provide context objects that are unique to a group of servlets and which is tied to a specific portion of the URL path namespace of the host. ServletContext is enhanced in Servlet Specs 3 to introduce methods through which we can programmatically add Listeners and Filters and Servlet to the application. It also provides some utility methods such as _getMimeType()_, _getResourceAsStream()_ etc.

ServletConfigとServletContextの違いは何ですか？

Some of the differences between ServletConfig and ServletContext are:
-   ServletConfig is a unique object per servlet whereas ServletContext is a unique object for complete application.
-   ServletConfig is used to provide init parameters to the servlet whereas ServletContext is used to provide application level init parameters that all other servlets can use.
-   We can't set attributes in ServletConfig object whereas we can set attributes in ServletContext that other servlets can use in their implementation.

「リクエストディスパッチャー」とは何ですか？

RequestDispatcher interface is used to forward the request to another resource that can be HTML, JSP or another servlet in the same application. We can also use this to include the content of another resource to the response. This interface is used for inter-servlet communication in the same context. There are two methods defined in this interface:
1.  void forward(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response) – forwards the request from a servlet to another resource (servlet, JSP file, or HTML file) on the server.
2.  void include(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response) – includes the content of a resource (servlet, JSP page, HTML file) in the response.
We can get RequestDispatcher in a servlet using ServletContext getRequestDispatcher(String path) method. The path must begin with a / and is interpreted as relative to the current context root.

PrintWriterとServletOutputStreamの違いは何ですか？

PrintWriter is a character-stream class whereas ServletOutputStream is a byte-stream class. We can use PrintWriter to write character based information such as character array and String to the response whereas we can use ServletOutputStream to write byte array data to the response. We can use ServletResponse getWriter() to get the PrintWriter instance whereas we can use ServletResponse getOutputStream() method to get the ServletOutputStream object reference. You can read more about IO in java at [**Java IO Tutorial**](/community/tutorials/java-io-tutorial).

サーブレット内でPrintWriterとServletOutputStreamの両方を取得することはできますか？

We can't get instances of both PrintWriter and ServletOutputStream in a single servlet method, if we invoke both the methods; getWriter() and getOutputStream() on response; we will get `java.lang.IllegalStateException` at runtime with message as other method has already been called for this response.

サーブレットでデッドロック状況を作成する方法はありますか？

We can create deadlock in servlet by making a loop of method invocation, just call doPost() method from doGet() method and doGet() method to doPost() method to create deadlock situation in servlet. Read more about deadlock in multithreading at [**Java Deadlock Example**](/community/tutorials/deadlock-in-java-example).

サーブレットのラッパークラスの使用目的は何ですか？

Servlet HTTP API provides two wrapper classes - `HttpServletRequestWrapper` and `HttpServletResponseWrapper`. These wrapper classes are provided to help developers with custom implementation of servlet request and response types. We can extend these classes and override only specific methods we need to implement for custom request and response objects. These classes are not used in normal servlet programming.

シングルスレッドモデルインターフェースとは何ですか？ (Shinguru Sureddo Moderu Intāfēsu to wa nan desuka?)

SingleThreadModel interface was provided for thread safety and it guarantees that no two threads will execute concurrently in the servlet's service method. However, SingleThreadModel does not solve all thread-safety issues. For example, session attributes and static variables can still be accessed by multiple requests on multiple threads at the same time, even when SingleThreadModel servlets are used. Also, it takes out all the benefits of multithreading support of servlets, that's why this interface is Deprecated in Servlet 2.4.

service() メソッドをオーバーライドする必要がありますか？

When servlet container receives client request, it invokes the service() method which in turn invokes the doGet(), doPost() methods based on the HTTP method of request. I don't see any use case where we would like to override the service() method. The whole purpose of service() method is to forward to request to corresponding HTTP method implementations. If we have to do some pre-processing of request, we can always use servlet filters and listeners.

Servletコンストラクタを作成するのは良い考えですか？

We can define a constructor for servlet but I don't think it's of any use because we won't be having access to the ServletConfig object until unless servlet is initialized by the container. Ideally, if we have to initialize any resource for the servlet, we should override init() method where we can access servlet init parameters using ServletConfig object.

GenericServletとHttpServletの違いは何ですか？

GenericServlet is protocol independent implementation of Servlet interface whereas HttpServlet is HTTP protocol specific implementation. Most of the times we use servlet for creating web application and that's why we extend HttpServlet class. HttpServlet class extends GenericServlet and also provide some other methods specific to HTTP protocol.

インターサーブレット間の通信とは何ですか。 (Intāsāburetto kan no tsūshin to wa nan desu ka?)

When we want to invoke another servlet from a servlet service methods, we use inter-servlet communication mechanisms. We can invoke another servlet using RequestDispatcher forward() and include() methods and provide additional attributes in request for other servlet use.

サーブレットはスレッドセーフですか？サーブレット内でスレッドセーフ性を実現する方法はありますか？

HttpServlet init() method and destroy() method are called only once in the servlet life cycle, so we don't need to worry about their synchronization. But service methods such as doGet() or doPost() are getting called in every client request and since servlet uses multithreading, we should provide thread safety in these methods. If there are any local variables in service methods, we don't need to worry about their thread-safety because they are specific to each thread but if we have a shared resource then we can use synchronization to achieve thread-safety in servlets when working with shared resources. The thread safety mechanisms are similar to thread safety in standalone java application, read more about them at [**Thread Safety in Java**](/community/tutorials/thread-safety-in-java).

サーブレット属性とそのスコープについて、何ですか？

Servlet attributes are used for inter-servlet communication, we can set, get and remove attributes in web application. There are three scopes for servlet attributes – request scope, session scope and application scope. ServletRequest, HttpSession, and ServletContext interfaces provide methods to get/set/remove attributes from request, session and application scope respectively. Servlet attributes are different from init parameters defined in web.xml for ServletConfig or ServletContext.

別のサーブレットから、どのようにして一つのサーブレットを呼び出せますか？

We can use RequestDispatcher forward() method to forward the processing of a request to another servlet. If we want to include the another servlet output to the response, we can use RequestDispatcher include() method.

別のアプリケーション内で別のサーブレットをどのように呼び出すことができますか？ (Betsu no apurikēshon-nai de betsuna sāburetto o donoyōni yobidasu koto ga dekimasu ka?)

We can't use RequestDispatcher to invoke servlet from another application because it's specific for the application. If we have to forward the request to a resource in another application, we can use the ServletResponse sendRedirect() method and provide the complete URL of another servlet. This sends the response to the client with the response code as 302 to forward the request to another URL. If we have to send some data also, we can use cookies that will be part of the servlet response and sent in the request to another servlet.

「ServletResponseのsendRedirect()メソッド」と「RequestDispatcherのforward()メソッド」の違いは何ですか？

1.  RequestDispatcher forward() is used to forward the same request to another resource whereas ServletResponse sendRedirect() is a two step process. In sendRedirect(), web application returns the response to client with status code 302 (redirect) with URL to send the request. The request sent is a completely new request.
2.  forward() is handled internally by the container whereas sednRedirect() is handled by browser.
3.  We should use forward() when accessing resources in the same application because it's faster than sendRedirect() method that required an extra network call.
4.  In forward() browser is unaware of the actual processing resource and the URL in address bar remains same whereas in sendRedirect() URL in address bar change to the forwarded resource.
5.  forward() can't be used to invoke a servlet in another context, we can only use sendRedirect() in this case.

なぜHttpServletクラスは抽象クラスとして宣言されているのか？

HttpServlet class provide HTTP protocol implementation of servlet but it's left abstract because there is no implementation logic in service methods such as doGet() and doPost() and we should override at least one of the service methods. That's why there is no point in having an instance of HttpServlet and is declared abstract class. Read more about [**abstract class**](/community/tutorials/abstract-class-in-java).

サーブレットのライフサイクルにはどのようなフェーズがありますか？

We know that Servlet Container manages the life cycle of Servlet, there are four phases of servlet life cycle.
1.  Servlet Class Loading - When container receives a request for a servlet, it first loads the class into memory and calls it's default no-args constructor.
2.  Servlet Class Initialization - Once the servlet class is loaded, container initializes the ServletContext object for the servlet and then invoke its init method by passing the servlet config object. This is the place where a servlet class transforms from normal class to servlet.
3.  Request Handling - Once the servlet is initialized, it's ready to handle the client requests. For every client request, servlet container spawns a new thread and invokes the service() method by passing the request and response object reference.
4.  Removal from Service - When container stops or we stop the application, servlet container destroys the servlet class by invoking the destroy() method.

サーブレットのライフサイクルメソッドには、どのようなものがありますか？

Servlet Life Cycle consists of three methods:
1.  public void init(ServletConfig config) - This method is used by container to initialize the servlet, this method is invoked only once in the lifecycle of servlet.
2.  public void service(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response) - This method is called once for every request, container can't invoke service() method until unless init() method is executed.
3.  public void destroy() - This method is invoked once when servlet is unloaded from memory.

なぜ私たちはno-args init()メソッドだけをオーバーライドすべきか。

If we have to initialize some resource before we want our servlet to process client requests, we should override the init() method. If we override init(ServletConfig config) method, then the first statement should be super(config) to make sure superclass init(ServletConfig config) method is invoked first. That's why GenericServlet provides another helper init() method without argument that get's called at the end of init(ServletConfig config) method. We should always utilize this method for overriding init() method to avoid any issues as we may forget to add super() call in overriding init method with ServletConfig argument.

URLエンコーディングとは何ですか？

URL Encoding is the process of converting data into CGI form so that it can travel across the network without any issues. URL Encoding strips the white spaces and replaces special characters with escape characters. We can use java.net.URLEncoder.encode(String str, String unicode) to encode a String. URL Decoding is the reverse process of encoding and we can use java.net.URLDecoder.decode(String str, String unicode) to decode the encoded string. For example "Pankaj's Data" is encoded to "Pankaj%27s+Data".

サーブレットのセッション管理の異なる手法は何ですか？

The session is a conversational state between client and server and it can consist of multiple request and response between client and server. Since HTTP and Web Server both are stateless, the only way to maintain a session is when some unique information about the session (session-id) is passed between server and client in every request and response. Some of the common ways of session management in servlets are:

1.  User Authentication
2.  HTML Hidden Field
3.  Cookies
4.  URL Rewriting
5.  Session Management API

Read more about these session management approaches in detail at **Servlet Session Management Tutorial**.

URLリライトとは何ですか？

We can use HttpSession for session management in servlets but it works with Cookies and we can disable the cookie in client browser. Servlet API provides support for URL rewriting that we can use to manage session in this case. The best part is that from a coding point of view, it’s very easy to use and involves one step – encoding the URL. Another good thing with Servlet URL Encoding is that it’s a fallback approach and it kicks in only if browser cookies are disabled. We can encode URL with HttpServletResponse encodeURL() method and if we have to redirect the request to another resource and we want to provide session information, we can use encodeRedirectURL() method. Read More at [**Servlet URL Rewriting**](/community/tutorials/java-session-management-servlet-httpsession-url-rewriting#servlet-url-rewriting).

サーブレット内でクッキーはどのように機能するのですか？

Cookies are used a lot in web client-server communication, it’s not something specific to java. Cookies are text data sent by server to the client and it gets saved at the client local machine. Servlet API provides cookies support through javax.servlet.http.Cookie class that implements Serializable and Cloneable interfaces. HttpServletRequest getCookies() method is provided to get the array of Cookies from the request, since there is no point of adding Cookie to request, there are no methods to set or add a cookie to request. Similarly, HttpServletResponse addCookie(Cookie c) method is provided to attach cookie in the response header, there are no getter methods for a cookie. Read more at [**Cookies in Servlets**](/community/tutorials/java-servlet-cookies-example).

セッションが無効化されたりタイムアウトした場合にセッション内のオブジェクトに通知する方法はありますか？

If we have to make sure an object gets notified when session is destroyed, the object should implement `javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionBindingListener` interface. This interface defines two callback methods - valueBound() and valueUnbound() that we can define to implement processing logic when the object is added as attribute to the session and when session is destroyed. Recommended reading [**Servlet Listener**](/community/tutorials/servletcontextlistener-servlet-listener-example).

encodeRedirectUrlとencodeURLの違いは何ですか？

HttpServletResponse provide method to encode URL in HTML hyperlinks so that the special characters and white spaces are escaped and append session id to the URL. It behaves similar to URLEncoder encode method with additional process to append jsessionid parameter at the end of the URL. However HttpServletResponse encodeRedirectUrl() method is used specially for encode the redirect URL in response. So when we are providing URL rewriting support, for hyperlinks in HTML response, we should use encodeURL() method whereas for redirect URL we should use encodeRedirectUrl() method.

私たちはなぜServletフィルターを持っているのでしょうか？ (Watashitachi wa naze Servlet firutā o motte iru no deshouka?)

Servlet Filters are pluggable java components that we can use to intercept and process requests before they are sent to servlets and response after servlet code is finished and before container sends the response back to the client. Some common tasks that we can do with filters are:

-   Logging request parameters to log files.
-   Authentication and authorization of request for resources.
-   Formatting of request body or header before sending it to servlet.
-   Compressing the response data sent to the client.
-   Alter response by adding some cookies, header information etc.

Read more about filters at [**Servlet Filter**](/community/tutorials/java-servlet-filter-example-tutorial).

ユーザーが有効なセッションを持っている場合にのみ、すべてのサーブレットにアクセスできる効果的な方法は何ですか？ (Nihongo: Users ga yūkōna sesshon o motte iru baai ni nomi, subete no sāburetto ni akusesu dekiru kōkateki na hōhō wa nanidesu ka?)

We know that servlet filters can be used to intercept request between a servlet container and servlet, we can utilize it to create an authentication filter and check if the request contains a valid session or not. Check out Authentication Filter example at [**Servlet Filter Example**](/community/tutorials/java-servlet-filter-example-tutorial#servlet-filter-example).

なぜ私達はサーブレットリスナーを持っているのでしょうか？(Naze watashitachi wa sāburetto risunā o motte iru no deshouka?)

We know that using ServletContext, we can create an attribute with application scope that all other servlets can access but we can initialize ServletContext init parameters as String only in the deployment descriptor (web.xml). What if our application is database-oriented and we want to set an attribute in ServletContext for Database Connection. If your application has a single entry point (user login), then you can do it in the first servlet request but if we have multiple entry points then doing it everywhere will result in a lot of code redundancy. Also if the database is down or not configured properly, we won’t know until the first client request comes to the server. To handle these scenarios, servlet API provides Listener interfaces that we can implement and configure to listen to an event and do certain operations. Read more about different types of listeners and example at [**Servlet Listener**](/community/tutorials/servletcontextlistener-servlet-listener-example).

別のサーブレットでアプリケーションから投げられる例外をどのように処理しますか？ (Betsu no sāburēto de apurikēshon kara nagerareru reigai wo donoyō ni shori shimasu ka?)

If you notice, doGet() and doPost() methods throw ServletException and IOException. Since browser understand only HTML, when our application throw exception, servlet container processes the exception and generate a HTML response. Same goes with other error codes like 404, 403 etc. Servlet API provides support for custom Exception and Error Handler servlets that we can configure in the deployment descriptor, the whole purpose of these servlets are to handle the Exception or Error raised by application and send HTML response that is useful for the user. We can provide a link to the application home page or some details to let the user know what went wrong. We can configure them in web.xml like below:

```
<error-page>
	<error-code>404</error-code>
    <location>/AppExceptionHandler</location>
</error-page>
   
<error-page>
  	<exception-type>javax.servlet.ServletException</exception-type>
  	<location>/AppExceptionHandler</location>
</error-page>
```

Read more at [**Servlet Exception Handling**](/community/tutorials/servlet-exception-and-error-handling-example-tutorial).

デプロイメント記述子とは何ですか？ (Deplōimento kijutsushi to wa nan desu ka?)

The deployment descriptor is a configuration file for the web application and its name is web.xml and it resides in WEB-INF directory. Servlet container uses this file to configure web application servlets, servlet config params, context init params, filters, listeners, welcome pages and error handlers. With servlet 3.0 annotations, we can remove a lot of clutter from web.xml by configuring servlets, filters, and listeners using annotations.

アプリケーションの起動時にサーブレットが読み込まれることを確認する方法はありますか？

Usually, servlet container loads a servlet on the first client request. Sometimes the servlet is heavy and takes time to loads, we might want to load it on application startup. We can use a load-on-startup element with servlet configuration in the web.xml file or use WebServlet annotation loadOnStartup variable to tell the container to load the servlet on system startup.

```
<servlet>
	<servlet-name>foo</servlet-name>
	<servlet-class>com.foo.servlets.Foo</servlet-class>
	<load-on-startup>5</load-on-startup>
</servlet> 
```

The load-on-startup value should be int, if it's a negative integer then servlet container will load the servlet based on client requests and requirement but if it's 0 or positive, then the container will load it on application startup. If there are multiple servlets with load-on-startup value such as 0,1,2,3 then lower integer value servlet will be loaded first.

How to retrieve the actual path of a servlet on the server? (サーバー上のサーブレットの実際のパスを取得する方法は？)

We can use following code snippet to get the actual path of the servlet in file system. `getServletContext().getRealPath(request.getServletPath())`

サーブレットでサーバーの情報を取得する方法は？

We can use below code snippet to get the servlet information in a servlet through servlet context object. `getServletContext().getServerInfo()`

サーバーにファイルをアップロードするためのサーブレットを作成してください。

File Upload and Download and common tasks in a java web application. Unfortunately Servlet API doesn't provide easy methods to upload file on server, so we can use Apache FileUpload jar to make our life easier. Please read [**File Upload Servlet**](/community/tutorials/servlet-upload-file-download-example) post that provide all the necessary details with example program to upload and download file using servlets.

Servletでデータベース接続とlog4jの統合をどのように行いますか？

If you work with database connection a lot in your web application, its best to initialize it in a servlet context listener and set it as a context attribute for other servlets to use. Integrating Log4j is also very easy in web applications, all we need is a log4j configuration XML or property file and then configure it in a servlet context listener. For complete example, please look into [**Servlet Database and Log4j Example**](/community/tutorials/servlet-jdbc-database-connection-example).

サーブレットでクライアントのIPアドレスを取得する方法は何ですか？

We can use `request.getRemoteAddr()` to get the client IP address in servlet.

Servlet 3の重要な機能は何ですか？ (Serubetto 3 no juuyou na kinou wa nan desu ka?)

Servlet Specs 3.0 was a major release and some of the important features are:
1.  **Servlet Annotations**: Prior to Servlet 3, all the servlet mapping and its init parameters were used to defined in web.xml, this was not convenient and more error prone when number of servlets are huge in an application. Servlet 3 introduced the use of Java annotations to define a servlet, filter and listener servlets and init parameters. Some of the important Servlet API annotations are WebServlet, WebInitParam, WebFilter, and WebListener. Read more about them at [Servlet 3 annotations](/community/tutorials/servlet-tutorial-java#servlet-3-annotations).
2.  **Web Fragments**: Prior to servlet specs 3.0, all the web application configurations are required to be present in the web.xml that makes it cluttered with a lot of elements and chances of error increases. So servlet 3 specs introduced web fragments where we can have multiple modules in a single web application, all these modules should have a web-fragment.xml file in META-INF directory. We can include all the elements of web.xml inside the web-fragment.xml too. This helps us in dividing our web application into separate modules that are included as a JAR file in the web application lib directory.
3.  **Adding Web Components dynamically**: We can use ServletContext object to add servlets, filters and listeners programmatically. This helps us in building a dynamic system where we are loading a component only if we need it. These methods are addServlet(), addFilter() and addListener() defined in the servlet context object.
4.  **Asynchronous Processing**: Asynchronous support was added to delegate the request processing to another thread rather than keeping the servlet thread busy. It can increase the throughput performance of the application. This is an advance topic and I recommend to read [**Async Servlet**](/community/tutorials/async-servlet-example) tutorial.

サーブレット認証の異なる方法はありますか？

Servlet Container provides different ways of login based servlet authentication:
1.  **HTTP Basic Authentication**
2.  **HTTP Digest Authentication**
3.  **HTTPS Authentication**
4.  **Form Based Login**: A standard HTML form for authentication, advantage is that we can change the login page layout as our application requirements rather than using HTTP built-in login mechanisms.

私たちのウェブアプリケーションに対してどのようにトランスポート層セキュリティを実現できますか？ (Watashitachi no webu apurikēshon ni taishite donoyō ni toransupōto-sō sekyuriti o jitsugen dekimasu ka?)

We can configure our servlet container to use SSL for message communication over the network. To configure SSL on Tomcat, we need a digital certificate that can be created using Java keytool for a development environment. For the production environment, you should get the digital certificate from SSL certificate providers, for example, Verisign or Entrust. Read more at [**Configure SSL on Tomcat**](/community/tutorials/steps-to-configure-ssl-on-tomcat-and-setup-auto-redirect-from-http-to-https) article.
