Interface Summary

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 `Filter` may be further configured.
public interface	ReadListener This class represents a call-back mechanism that will notify implementations as HTTP request data becomes available to be read without blocking.
public interface	Registration Interface through which a `Servlet` or `Filter` may be further configured.
public interface	RequestDispatcher Defines an object that receives requests from the client and sends them to any resource (such as a servlet, HTML file, or JSP file) on the server.
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	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 `Servlet` may be further configured.
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	SingleThreadModel Deprecated As of Java Servlet API 2.4, with no direct replacement. Ensures that servlets handle only one request at a time.
public interface	WriteListener Callback notification mechanism that signals to the developer it's possible to write content without blocking.
