Trail: Servlets

## Lesson: Utilities for Running Servlets

> Once you have written your servlet, you can test it with the utility included in the JSDK. The JSDK 2.0 has a utility called `servletrunner`, while JSDK 2.1 comes with a small HTTP server. This section discusses setting up and running those utilities.

### Setting Servlet Properties

> You might have to specify certain pieces of data to run a servlet. For example, if a servlet requires initialization parameters, you must set up this data before starting the JSDK process that runs your servlet.

### Starting the Server (JSDK 2.1)

> After the property file is set up, you can run servlets in the server included with the JSDK2.1. This section explains how.

### Starting servletrunner (JSDK 2.0)

> After the property file is set up, you can run servlets in the `servletrunner` utility. This section explains how.
