What all should I know

[vijaybhatia]

Can somebody please tell me whether I must know AWT, Swing and I/O to start programming Servelets.
I am an ASP programmer and have learnt core java.

Hi,

You must know I/O (java.io.*) and, of course, the servlet packages.
However, because servlets uses HTML for output, it is not necessary to know about Java's Window GUI facilities: AWT and Swing.

Only if you were to put an applet reference in your generated HTML page, then you'll also have to know about AWT and Swing.
