Subclasses of ServletException in javax.servlet

class

Methods in javax.servlet that throw ServletException

Servlet	ServletContext.getServlet(java.lang.String name) Deprecated. As of Java Servlet API 2.1, with no direct replacement. This method was originally defined to retrieve a servlet from a ServletContext. In this version, this method always returns null and remains only to preserve binary compatibility. This method will be permanently removed in a future version of the Java Servlet API. In lieu of this method, servlets can share information using the ServletContext class and can perform shared business logic by invoking methods on common non-servlet classes.
void	Servlet.init(ServletConfig config) Called by the servlet container to indicate to a servlet that the servlet is being placed into service.
void	Servlet.service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res) Called by the servlet container to allow the servlet to respond to a request.
void	RequestDispatcher.forward(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response) Forwards a request from a servlet to another resource (servlet, JSP file, or HTML file) on the server.
void	RequestDispatcher.include(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response) Includes the content of a resource (servlet, JSP page, HTML file) in the response.
void	GenericServlet.init(ServletConfig config) Called by the servlet container to indicate to a servlet that the servlet is being placed into service.
void	GenericServlet.init() A convenience method which can be overridden so that there's no need to call super.init(config).
abstract void	GenericServlet.service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res) Called by the servlet container to allow the servlet to respond to a request.
void	FilterChain.doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response) Causes the next filter in the chain to be invoked, or if the calling filter is the last filter in the chain, causes the resource at the end of the chain to be invoked.
void	Filter.init(FilterConfig filterConfig) Called by the web container to indicate to a filter that it is being placed into service.
void	Filter.doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) The doFilter method of the Filter is called by the container each time a request/response pair is passed through the chain due to a client request for a resource at the end of the chain.
