Summary
Although none of the example servlets will change the world, they do illustrate how well XML and servlets work together. Servlets perform as a great mechanism for delivering content to clients, and XML makes a wonderful mechanism for delivering structured data. You can also use servlets to process XML documents on the server and deliver their contents to clients. Best of all, both of these technologies are cross-platform, giving you more flexibility and portability in your applications.
