Method Detail

init

public void init()
          throws ServletException

The init method is called only when the servlet is first loaded, before the first request is processed.

Overrides:

init in class GenericServlet

doGet

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
                  HttpServletResponse response)
           throws ServletException,
                  IOException

Overrides:

doGet in class HttpServlet

getLastModified

public long getLastModified(HttpServletRequest request)

The standard service method compares this date against any date specified in the If-Modified-Since request header. If the getLastModified date is later, or if there is no If-Modified-Since header, the doGet method is called normally. But if the getLastModified date is the same or earlier, the service method sends back a 304 (Not Modified) response, and does not call doGet. The browser should used its cached version of the page in such a case.

Overrides:

getLastModified in class HttpServlet
