Java Servlet (Servlets) / Embarcadero / CodeGear (Tools & Components)

What is a Java Servlet? A Java Servlet is a Java object or Java Class that allows a Java developer to insert content into JSP Web pages at run-time. The Servlet uses the Java Servlet API to enable it to reply to HTTP requests from a Web server and so can create Web page content on the fly or dynamically. Servlets are typically created by JavaServer Pages (JSPs) and run on the server, inside servlet containers provided by the Web application server, such as: BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere and Apache Tomcat, sometimes called a Tomcat Servlet.

The Java Servlet and Java Servlet API is part of the Java Platform Enterprise Edition (Java EE) and is used to extend the functionality of the server in a component based manner.

Using this type of Servlet request can be very useful for displaying data. Servlet examples include Servlets to display: charts, graphs, barcodes and images on a Web page and they can also be used for text and HTML editing or display, as well as to exchange XML data using between systems or apps using an XML Servlet.

The Java Servlet based products listed here provide facilities for: displaying barcodes or rendering barcodes, charting data or displaying charts and graphs, carrying out eCommerce activities, performing financial calculations, editing text or editing HTML, spell checking text, as well as file handling, data conversion and other PDF file creation functionality.

In this filtered view of our main product catalog, you will find a selection of products that are compatible with Embarcadero Technologies products, as well as CodeGear products that were formerly owned by Borland Software. Embarcadero bought CodeGear in June, 2008, CodeGear was previously a division of Borland, making the Borland IDEs known as: Borland Delphi, Borland C++ Builder and Borland JBuilder. These products were sometimes referred to as CodeGear Delphi, CodeGear C++ Builder and CodeGear JBuilder, but are now known as Embarcadero Delphi XE and Embarcadero C++ Builder XE. Plus there is an Embarcadero developer tool suite, consisting of all .NET Embarcadero developer tools known as Embarcadero RAD Studio XE. JBuilder is also available from Embarcadero, along with other Embarcadero database tools.

This Embarcadero product gallery or CodeGear marketplace is full of products that are compatible with the Embarcadero product range, CodeGear tools and Borland dev tools. For Delphi developers there are Delphi components available as CodeGear VCL products, there are CodeGear components and Borland library products that will work with both your old Borland IDE, Borland C++ Builder and the new Embarcadero IDE environments, such as Embarcadero C++ Builder XE. The products here are compatible with CodeGear tools (formerly Borland tools) and can be evaluated by downloading the product trial from the CodeGear download page for each specific CodeGear tool or CodeGear component that you are investigating. You can then evaluate the CodeGear library or CodeGear extension downloaded, read the CodeGear reviews written and posted by other CodeGear developers about it or as a CodeGear developer you could write a CodeGear review yourself.

You will find lots of mature products that are: Borland .Net compatible tools, Borland component products, Borland tools, Borland libraries and many newer or up to date products that are: CodeGear tools, CodeGear component extensions, CodeGear tools or CodeGear libraries. Finally, for the newer and more up to date products, you can read the Embarcadero News pages, that highlight the Embarcadero product news every time a new Embarcadero compatible product is released. This Embarcadero News feed is also available as an Embarcadero News RSS data feed for you to subscribe to, so that you can keep up to date with all the latest Embarcadero product news.
