  1. Create the source folder
    • Right-click "tasklist" project folder
    • New -> Source Folder
    • Project name should be "tasklist"
    • Folder name is "tool/src/java"
    • Click "Finish"
  2. Creating the package for the Servlet
    • Right-click "tool/src/java"
    • New -> Package
    • Source folder should be "tasklist/tool/src/java"
    • Package Name "org.sakaiproject.tool.tasklist"
  3. Adding in servletapi
    • Right-click "tasklist" project folder
    • Java Build Path
    • "Add Variable..."
    • Select "MAVEN_REPO" and click "Extend..."
    • Browse to "servletapi -> jars -> servletapi-2.4.jar"
  4. Creating the Servlet class
    • Right-click the previously created package
    • Name is "TasklistTool"
    • Enter "javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet" as the Superclass
    • Under "Which method stubs would you like to create?", clear all options
    • Click "Finish"

You should now have a basic Servlet that looks like this:

package org.sakaiproject.tool.tasklist;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;

public class TasklistTool extends HttpServlet {

}

package org.sakaiproject.tool.tasklist;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;

import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.IOException;

public class TasklistTool extends HttpServlet {
	/**
	* Respond to navigation / access requests.
	*
	* @param req
	*        The servlet request.
	* @param res
	*        The servlet response.
	* @throws ServletException.
	* @throws IOException.
	*/
	protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException {
		res.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
		PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
		
		out.println("<h1>Sakai Tasktool</h1>");
		out.println("Hello, "+ req.getRemoteAddr());
	}
}
