Features of Servlets

Servlets are Java classes that extend functionality for handling web requests and responses. They are persistent, platform independent, secure, and extensible. Servlets offer better performance than other options since they are loaded only once by the web server and can handle requests between loads. All servlets must implement the Servlet interface, with most extending GenericServlet or HttpServlet to gain generic or HTTP-specific functionality respectively. The server invokes a servlet's service method each time it handles a request rather than a main method.
