Servlet configuration

Inside servlet container, the object of  javax.servlet.ServletConfig is used to represents the servlet configurations. The configuration information conatains the servlet ‘s initialization parameters, the name of the servlet and servlet contaxt which gives the information about container. The servletinitialization parameter and the servlet name can be spacified in the deployment descriptor (web.xml).

For example
<web-app>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>s1</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>FirstServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>p1</param-name>
            <param-value>bye user</param-value>
        </init-param>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>s1</servlet-name>    
        <url-pattern>/s1</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>


Following example will retrieves parameter from init-param tag of the servlet
import java.io.*;
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
public class FirstServlet extends HttpServlet{
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req,HttpServletResponse res)throws ServletException,IOException{
        res.setContentType("text/html");
        PrintWriter pw=res.getWriter();
        ServletConfig config=getServletConfig();
        String s=config.getInitParameter("p1");
        pw.write(s);
    }
}

Using HyperSQL (HSQLDB)

HSQLDB is a portable RDBMS implemented in pure java. It can be embedded with your application as well as can be used separately. It is very a small database that supports almost all features of the standard database system. It comes with small jar file that can be found in lib folder. The HSQLDB jar package is located in the /lib directory of the ZIP package and contains several components and programs. Core components of jar file are : HyperSQL RDBMS Engine (HSQLDB), HyperSQL JDBC Driver, Database Manager, and Sql Tool. Installing and Using Download: download latest release of HyperSQL database from http://hsqldb.org website and extract it. You will see following contents. Here "bin" directory contains some batch files those can be used to run a swing based GUI tool. You can use runManagerSwing.bat to connect to database, but database must be on before running it. Directory lib contains File hsqldb.jar . It is the database to be used by you. Running database First

In Process Mode of HSQLDB in web application.

If you want to use the database into your web application, you can use the HSQLDB in In_Process mode. In this mode, you can embed the HSQLDB into your web application and it runs as a part of your web application programm in the same JVM. In this mode, the database does not open any port to connect to the application on the hosing machine and you don't need to configure anything to access it. Database is not expposed to other application and can not be accessed from any dabase tools like dbVisualizer etc. In this mode ,database will be unknown from any other person except you. But in the 1.8.0 version, you can use Server intance for external as well as in process access.  To close the databse, you can issue SHUTDOWN command as an SQL query.   In the in-process mode, database starts from JDBC with the associated databse file provided through  connection URL. for example   DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:hsqldb:mydatabase","SA","");   Here myd
