public interface Handler
- extends LifeCycle, Destroyable
A Jetty Server Handler.
A Handler instance is required by a Server
to handle incoming
HTTP requests. A Handler may:
- Completely generate the HTTP Response
- Examine/modify the request and call another Handler (see
HandlerWrapper
).
- Pass the request to one or more other Handlers (see
HandlerCollection
).
Handlers are passed the servlet API request and response object, but are
not Servlets. The servlet container is implemented by handlers for
context, security, session and servlet that modify the request object
before passing it to the next stage of handling.
