Get HttpServletRequest Via Maven Repository

Get HttpServletRequest Via Maven Repository

Problem

Using Maven build tool, which jar should include to use HttpServletRequest or HttpServletResponse?

Solution

To use HttpServletRequest or HttpServletResponse in development environment, include “serlvet-api.jar” in your Maven pom.xml file.

  <dependency>
 <groupId>javax.servlet</groupId>
 <artifactId>servlet-api</artifactId>
 <version>2.5</version>
 <scope>provided</scope>
  </dependency>

Put scope as “provided“, because most j2ee containers have this jar. You need this for complication only, not deployment.

<dependency>
   <groupId>javax</groupId>
   <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
   <version>6.0</version>
</dependency>
