For more information on loading and invoking servlets, see Loading and Invoking Servlets.

The Servlet Loading page allows you to enter, edit, or delete servlet loading information for local or remote servlets. After you've loaded a servlet, you can invoke it whenever you want to by:

• calling it directly using a URL.
• embedding it in a server-side include statement inside an HTML document.
• loading it automatically when the JavaServer starts up, then calling it by means of a URL or server-side include.

Add a New Servlet
Allows you to add a new servlet to the list of servlets to be invoked. To add a new servlet:

• Servlet Name - Enter the unique name of the servlet you are adding.
• Servlet Class - Enter the name of the Java class for the servlet. This consists of the package name without the ".class" extension. For example, "sun.server.http.FileServlet" is a valid class name.

• Name - The unique name of the servlet.
• Description - A text string describing the servlet. This field is sometimes blank.
• Class Name - The name of the associated class file for the servlet.
• Arguments - The servlet argument list, where each argument is in the form "name=value".
• Load at Startup - Whether or not JavaServer loads the servlet when the server starts.
• Loaded Now - Whether or not the servlet is currently loaded.
• Load Remotely - Whether or not JavaServer loads the servlet from a remote location.
• Class File URL - The URL that points to the class file for the remote servlet.

1. In the Name field of the Add a New Servlet screen, enter a unique name for the servlet.
2. In the Class Name field of the Add a New Servlet screen, enter the servlet's class name, which consists of the package name without the ".class" extension. For example, "sun.server.http.FileServlet" is a valid class name.
3. In the Argument field of the Configure a Servlet screen, enter comma-separated "name=value" pairs.
4. To load the servlet when the server starts, click Yes.
   (By default, servlets are only loaded when you activate them.)
5. Click Save.

   If the servlet is a remote servlet, do the following step in addition to doing the above:

6. In the Class Location field, enter the full URL, ending with a slash, of the servlet's class file on the remote server. For example, if HelloWorld.class exists on a remote JavaServer named nightsky.com in the top level public_html directory, then the URL is http://nightsky.com/.

To Delete Information for a Servlet:

1. Select the entry that you want to delete.
2. Click Remove.

To Edit a Servlet Entry:

1. Select the entry.
2. Delete the entry.
3. Reenter the entry.
4. Click Save.

• Save - Writes your changes to the JavaServer and changes the settings.
• Revert - Takes you back to the previous settings for all fields in the screen. Use this button to undo changes you have not yet saved.
• Load/Unload - Loads or unloads the servlet.
• Remove - Removes the servlet from the servlet list.
