Where are servlets used today ?
I know that servlets are modules that run inside request/response-oriented servers, such as Java-enabled web servers. But now i don't hear anyone working with servlets.It may be that 'I' don't have people around who are much interested in servlets. But the thing is where servlets are used can't we write scripts in PHP
or program in asp
for that part ?
When i came to know that JDK'S IO classes can only work with system files,i thought of writting the particular application in php but because i love java i gave a look at servlet
.
My knowledge of servlets is not much,but because i needed some application on server that could generate a response when a button is clicked from my applet i came across servlet
. But then i thought is there anything that only servlets can do ?
So,is it worth learning to write servlet (or should i do in php/asp) when my goal is to write on a remote server file ?
UPDATE
This question is open to more 'fine` answers.None of the answer has actually answered the question
