Methods in javax.servlet with type parameters of type Servlet

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
<T extends Servlet> T	ServletContext.createServlet(Class<T> clazz) Instantiates the given Servlet class.

Methods in javax.servlet that return Servlet

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Servlet	UnavailableException.getServlet() Deprecated. As of Java Servlet API 2.2, with no replacement. Returns the servlet that is reporting its unavailability.
Servlet	ServletContext.getServlet(String name) Deprecated. As of Java Servlet API 2.1, with no direct replacement. This method was originally defined to retrieve a servlet from a ServletContext. In this version, this method always returns null and remains only to preserve binary compatibility. This method will be permanently removed in a future version of the Java Servlet API. In lieu of this method, servlets can share information using the ServletContext class and can perform shared business logic by invoking methods on common non-servlet classes.

Methods in javax.servlet that return types with arguments of type Servlet

Modifier and Type

Method and Description

abstract void	PageContext.initialize(Servlet servlet, ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, String errorPageURL, boolean needsSession, int bufferSize, boolean autoFlush) The initialize method is called to initialize an uninitialized PageContext so that it may be used by a JSP Implementation class to service an incoming request and response within it's _jspService() method.
