Our application has two servlets: IndexServlet, which is a trivial example of forwarding any request, mapped with "/" to index.jsp and FlightServlet, which processes the request using the functionality we developed in the previous chapters and forwards the response to response.jsp. Here in, we simply declare the FlightEngine and SearchRequest as the class attributes and annotate them with @Inject. FlightSearchFilter is a filter with the only responsibility of validating the request parameters. Index.jsp is the landing page of this application and presents the user with a form to search the flights, and response.jsp is the results page.
The flight search form will look as shown in the following screenshot:
The search page would subsequently lead to the following result page.
In order to build the application, we need to execute the following command in the directory chapter_4/flightsweb, where the pom.xml file for the project resides:
shell> mvn clean package...
