servlet chaining

[Pushker Chaubey]

Can any body explain me what is servlet chaining. How to make a servlet chain?

[Ben Souther]

Servlet chaining is a long gone part of the servlet spec.
It was a mechanism that would allow you to string together several servlets via the deployment descriptor to act as a pipeline.

It has been replaced by the RequestDispatcher which allows you to forward context from one servlet or JSP to another.

Hi pushker,
Servlet chaining is a technique in which 2 or more servlets can cooperate in servcing a single request in servlet chaining,one servlet's output is piped to next servlet's input.This process continues until the last servlet is reached .This process is nothing but a servlet chaining .

Thanks,
vishnu.

Welcome to JavaRanch!

We're pleased to have you here with us in the servlets forum, but there
are a few rules that need to be followed, and one is that proper names are
required. Please take a look at the
JavaRanch Naming Policy and
adjust your display name to match it.

In particular, your display name must be a first and a last name separated by a space character, and must not be obviously fictitious.

You can change it here
