This listener interface can be implemented in order to get notifications of changes to the attribute lists of sessions within this web application.
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 an `HttpSessionAttributeListener` that has been configured in the deployment descriptor when any attribute is bound, unbound or replaced in a session.
HttpSessionBindingListener
Causes an object to be notified when it is bound to or unbound from a session.
HttpSessionContext

As of Java(tm) Servlet API 2.1 for security reasons, with no replacement.

This is the class representing event notifications for changes to sessions within a web application.

Implementations of this interface are notified when an `HttpSession`'s ID changes.

Interface between the HTTP upgrade process and the new protocol.
HttpUtils
Deprecated.
As of Java(tm) Servlet API 2.3.
JspConfigDescriptor
This interface exposes the JSP specific configuration information obtain ed from the deployment descriptors.
JspPropertyGroupDescriptor
Represents the JSP property groups in the deployment descriptors.
MappingMatch
Represents the ways that a request can be mapped to a servlet
MultipartConfig
This annotation is used to indicate that the `Servlet` on which it is declared expects requests to made using the `multipart/form-data` MIME type.
MultipartConfigElement
The programmatic equivalent of `MultipartConfig` used to configure multi-part handling for a Servlet when registering a Servlet via code.
Part
This class represents a part as uploaded to the server as part of a `multipart/form-data` request body.
PushBuilder
Builds a push request based on the `HttpServletRequest` from which this builder was obtained.
ReadListener
Receives notification of read events when using non-blocking IO.
Registration
Common interface for the registration of Filters and Servlets.
Registration.Dynamic
Interface through which a Servlet or Filter registered via one of the addServlet or addFilter methods, respectively, on ServletContext may be further configured.
RequestDispatcher
Defines an object that receives requests from the client and sends them to any resource (such as a servlet, HTML file, or JSP file) on the server.
Servlet
Defines methods that all servlets must implement.
ServletConfig
A servlet configuration object used by a servlet container to pass information to a servlet during initialization.
ServletContainerInitializer
ServletContainerInitializers (SCIs) are registered via an entry in the file META-INF/services/javax.servlet.ServletContainerInitializer that must be included in the JAR file that contains the SCI implementation.
ServletContext
Defines a set of methods that a servlet uses to communicate with its servlet container, for example, to get the MIME type of a file, dispatch requests, or write to a log file.
ServletContextAttributeEvent
This is the event class for notifications about changes to the attributes of the servlet context of a web application.
