This collection of examples demonstrates some of the more frequently used parts of the Servlet API. Familiarity with the Java(tm) Programming Language is assumed.

These examples only work when you view the pages with an http URL. They do not work if you view these pages using a file://... URL. Please refer to the README file provide with this Tomcat release regarding how to configure and start the provided web server.

Wherever you see a form, enter some data and see how the servlet reacts. When playing with the Cookie and Session Examples, jump back to the Headers Example to see exactly what your browser is sending the server.

To navigate your way through the examples, the following icons provide help:
 

	Execute the example
	Look at the source code for the example
	Return to this screen

Tip - To see the cookie interactions with your browser, try turning on the Notify When Setting a Cookie option in your browser preferences. This lets you see when a session is created and provides feedback when looking at the cookie demo.
