Introduction to Servlets Servlets are Java programs that extend the capabilities of a server.  They can respond to any type of requests  but are commonly used to handle HTTP requests in web applications. 2. Servlet Life Cycle The life cycle of a servlet is controlled by the servlet container, which follows these steps: Loading and Instantiation : The servlet class is loaded and an instance is created. Initialization : The init() method is called once for initialization. Request Handling : The service() method is called for each request, which then calls  doGet(), doPost(), etc. Destruction : The destroy() method is called before the servlet is destroyed. Example...

Use Java 8 streams to sort the employees by salary in descending order. Skip the first element (which is the employee with the highest salary). Get the first element of the remaining stream (which is the employee with the second-highest salary). Example code: java import  java.util.ArrayList; import  java.util.List;  class  Employee  {     private  String name;     private  double  salary;      public  Employee (String name, double  salary)  {         this .name = name;         this .salary = salary;     }      public  double  getSalary ()  {         return  salary;     } }  public  class  SecondHighestSalary  {     public  static  void  main (String[] args)  {         List<Employee> employees = new  ArrayList <>();         employees.add( new  Employee ( "John" , 60000.0 ));         employees.add( new  Employe...
