Mix protocols transparently in Web applications To maintain the security of sensitive data as it travels over the Internet to or from the browser, Web applications often rely on Secure Sockets Layer. The secure Webpages and processes that transmit sensitive data utilize HTTP over SSL (HTTPS) rather than the usual HTTP. Integrating SSL into a Web application should prove seamless and simple to implement as well as maintain. This article explores typical SSL implementations and develops an SSL solution using the J2EE servlet redirect mechanism to protect sensitive data transmission. It also develops an overall solution combining JavaServer Pages custom tags and an application-specific servlet base class. |

Take control of the servlet environment, Part 1 The ever-popular servlet cleanly and simply develops and deploys Web-based applications. However, although Java is platform independent, the Web as a whole is not. The language and the servlet API do not provide such niceties as optional session-persistence schemas (i.e., store in memory, in a database, or in a cookie), and they don't easily accommodate ad hoc solutions to shortcomings in cookie handling. To handle such issues, Thomas Davis and Craig Walker have developed an unobtrusive framework, an invisible layer between your servlets and the servlet engine, that gives you greater control over the environment. |

A J2EE presentation pattern: Applets with servlets and XML Sometimes a standard HTML view on your J2EE-based system doesn't offer a sophisticated enough user interface. Based on the pattern described here, you can enhance such a Web interface with the Java Plug-in. The Java Plug-in lets you embed applets that consume XML documents and display the contained data in a particular way. These XML documents contain presentation data derived from servlets looking at your business logic tier. This lets your users access powerful UI components while still retaining a strong decoupling between the business logic and presentation tiers---without complicated firewall issues. |
