The down side of using servlet is that servlets do not provide features required for implementing REST API methods. All of those features (handling context paths, context path parameters, query parameters, request headers, response headers, content type, validations, etc) need to be implemented separately. I can see that you have already done that in above servlets. > > In here two servlets are used as the paths used are different when > retrieving the JSON files.
