Most are in the org.eclipse.jetty.servlets package.
These servlets and filters are among the principle elements of Jetty as a component-based infrastructure that holds and runs J2EE applications.
As described, they play a major role in running and maintaining the Jetty server.</p><p>Also included are a number of Jetty specific handlers that allow access to internals of jetty that would not normally be exposed and are very useful testing environments and many production scenarios.</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="default-servlet"></a>Default Servlet</h2></div></div></div><div class="toc"><dl class="toc"><dt><span class="section"><a href="advanced-extras.html#default-servlet-metadata">Info</a></span></dt><dt><span class="section"><a href="advanced-extras.html#default-servlet-usage">Usage</a></span></dt><dt><span class="section"><a href="advanced-extras.html#default-servlet-init">Init Parameters</a></span></dt></dl></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="default-servlet-metadata"></a>Info</h3></div></div></div><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem">Classname: <code class="literal">org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.DefaultServlet</code></li><li class="listitem">Maven Artifact: org.eclipse.jetty:jetty-servlet</li><li class="listitem">Javadoc: <a class="link" href="http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/javadoc/9.3.28.v20191105/org/eclipse/jetty/servlet/DefaultServlet.html" target="_top">http://www.eclipse.org/jetty/javadoc/9.3.28.v20191105/org/eclipse/jetty/servlet/DefaultServlet.html</a></li></ul></div></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="default-servlet-usage"></a>Usage</h3></div></div></div><p>The <code class="literal">DefaultServlet</code> implements the <code class="literal">ResourceFactory</code> interface and extends the <code class="literal">HttpServlet</code> abstract class.
