Interface Summary

Interface	Description
HttpServletMapping	Allows runtime discovery of the manner in which the HttpServlet for the current HttpServletRequest was invoked.

HttpServletResponse	Extends the ServletResponse interface to provide HTTP-specific functionality in sending a response.
HttpSession	Provides a way to identify a user across more than one page request or visit to a Web site and to store information about that user.
HttpSessionActivationListener	Objects that are bound to a session may listen to container events notifying them that sessions will be passivated and that session will be activated.
HttpSessionAttributeListener	Interface for receiving notification events about HttpSession attribute changes.
HttpSessionBindingListener	Causes an object to be notified when it is bound to or unbound from a session.
HttpSessionContext	Deprecated As of Java(tm) Servlet API 2.1 for security reasons, with no replacement.

HttpFilter	Provides an abstract class to be subclassed to create an HTTP filter suitable for a Web site.
HttpServlet	Provides an abstract class to be subclassed to create an HTTP servlet suitable for a Web site.
HttpServletRequestWrapper	Provides a convenient implementation of the HttpServletRequest interface that can be subclassed by developers wishing to adapt the request to a Servlet.
HttpServletResponseWrapper	Provides a convenient implementation of the HttpServletResponse interface that can be subclassed by developers wishing to adapt the response from a Servlet.
HttpSessionBindingEvent	Events of this type are either sent to an object that implements HttpSessionBindingListener when it is bound or unbound from a session, or to a HttpSessionAttributeListener that has been configured in the deployment descriptor when any attribute is bound, unbound or replaced in a session.
