The jakarta.servlet package contains a number of classes and interfaces that describe and define the contracts between a servlet class and the runtime environment provided for an instance of such a class by a conforming servlet container. For version 4.0.1 and earlier, these classes and interfaces are described by the Java Servlet API Specification. For version 5.0.0 and later they are described by the Jakarta Servlet Specification.
| Modifier and Type | Interface and Description |
|---|---|
| public interface | AsyncContext
Class representing the execution context for an asynchronous operation that was initiated on a ServletRequest. |
| public interface | AsyncListener
Listener that will be notified in the event that an asynchronous operation initiated on a ServletRequest to which the listener had been added has completed, timed out, or resulted in an error. |
| public interface | Filter
A filter is an object that performs filtering tasks on either the request to a resource (a servlet or static content), or on the response from a resource, or both. |
| public interface | FilterChain
A FilterChain is an object provided by the servlet container to the developer giving a view into the invocation chain of a filtered request for a resource. |
| public interface | FilterConfig
A filter configuration object used by a servlet container to pass information to a filter during initialization. |
| public interface | FilterRegistration
Interface through which a |
| public interface | ReadListener

| public interface | Registration
Interface through which a |
| public interface | RequestDispatcher

| public interface | Servlet
Defines methods that all servlets must implement. |
| public interface | ServletConfig
A servlet configuration object used by a servlet container to pass information to a servlet during initialization. |
| public interface | ServletConnection
Provides information about the connection made to the Servlet container. |
| public interface | ServletContainerInitializer
Interface which allows a library/runtime to be notified of a web application's startup phase and perform any required programmatic registration of servlets, filters, and listeners in response to it. |
| public interface | ServletContext
Defines a set of methods that a servlet uses to communicate with its servlet container, for example, to get the MIME type of a file, dispatch requests, or write to a log file. |
| public interface | ServletContextAttributeListener
Interface for receiving notification events about ServletContext attribute changes. |
| public interface | ServletContextListener
Interface for receiving notification events about ServletContext lifecycle changes. |
| public interface | ServletRegistration
Interface through which a |
| public interface | ServletRequest
Defines an object to provide client request information to a servlet. |
| public interface | ServletRequestAttributeListener
Interface for receiving notification events about ServletRequest attribute changes. |
| public interface | ServletRequestListener
Interface for receiving notification events about requests coming into and going out of scope of a web application. |
| public interface | ServletResponse
Defines an object to assist a servlet in sending a response to the client. |
| public interface | SessionCookieConfig
Class that may be used to configure various properties of cookies used for session tracking purposes. |
| public interface | WriteListener
Callback notification mechanism that signals to the developer it's possible to write content without blocking. |
| Modifier and Type | Class and Description |
|---|---|
| public class | AsyncEvent
Event that gets fired when the asynchronous operation initiated on a ServletRequest (via a call to

| public class | ServletContextAttributeEvent
Event class for notifications about changes to the attributes of the ServletContext of a web application. |
| public class | ServletContextEvent
This is the event class for notifications about changes to the servlet context of a web application. |
| public class | ServletException
Defines a general exception a servlet can throw when it encounters difficulty. |
| public abstract class | ServletInputStream
Provides an input stream for reading binary data from a client request, including an efficient |
| public abstract class | ServletOutputStream
Provides an output stream for sending binary data to the client. |
| public class | ServletRequestAttributeEvent
This is the event class for notifications of changes to the attributes of the servlet request in an application. |
| public class | ServletRequestEvent
Events of this kind indicate lifecycle events for a ServletRequest. |
| public class | ServletRequestWrapper
Provides a convenient implementation of the ServletRequest interface that can be subclassed by developers wishing to adapt the request to a Servlet. |
| public class | ServletResponseWrapper
Provides a convenient implementation of the ServletResponse interface that can be subclassed by developers wishing to adapt the response from a Servlet. |
| public class | ServletSecurityElement
Java Class representation of a |
| public class | UnavailableException
Defines an exception that a servlet or filter throws to indicate that it is permanently or temporarily unavailable. |
