Java EE Servlet

A Java EE Servlet, or servlet for short, lives inside a servlet container, which is usually an application server, for example, Tomcat (https://tomcat.apache.org). When an HTTP request arrives at a server, usually, it will go through a list of filters that perform filtering tasks, for example, authentication, logging, and auditing.
