	[[Java servlet]] technology provides Web developers with a simple, consistent mechanism for extending the functionality of a Web server and for accessing existing business systems. Servlets are [[server-side]] Java EE components that generate responses to requests from [[client (computing)\|clients]]. Most of the time, this means generating [[HTML]] pages in response to [[~~Hypertext Transfer Protocol\|~~HTTP]] requests, although there are a number of other standard servlet classes available, for example for [[WebSocket]] communication.
