Java web applications
A Java web application is a server-side application used to create dynamic websites. We create websites that interact with Java web applications to dynamically generate content based on user input. Common examples include the following:
- E-commerce platforms
- Enterprise applications
- Online banking
- Information management systems
- Social media platforms
- Cloud-based applications
- Educational platforms
- Healthcare applications
- Gaming servers
- Internet of Things (IoT) applications
These examples demonstrate the versatility of using Java to develop and deploy high-performance web applications. As you might expect, HTTP is a foundational component of these Java web applications.
Let’s next review the basic architecture for Java web applications, so we can understand HTTP’s role.
Java web application architecture
Most Java web applications are comprised of four tiers, making it a multi-tier architecture...
