Novell WebAccess Servlet is a flexible framework to generate a web interface for an application. The Servlet architecture consists of the servlet, providers, and templates. The servlet receives requests from a browser or other HTTP client, and handles those requests by calling the appropriate provider. The provider does the requested work and returns the results. The results are combined with a template to produce a text-based document (HTML, XML, etc.), which is then sent back to the browser or HTTP client.
