+ Embedded HTTP Server transport
+
+ Spring Web Services provides a transport based on Sun's JRE 1.6
+ HTTP server.
+ The embedded HTTP Server is a standalone server that is simple to configure. It lends itself to a lighter
+ alternative to conventional servlet containers.
+
+
+ When using the embedded HTTP server, no external deployment descriptor is needed
+ (web.xml).
+ You only need to define an instance of the server and configure it to handle incoming requests.
+ The remoting module in the Core Spring Framework contains a convenient factory bean for the HTTP server:
+ the SimpleHttpServerFactoryBean.
+ The most important property is contexts, which maps context paths to corresponding
+ HttpHandlers.
+
+
+ Spring Web Services provides 2 implementations of the HttpHandler
+ interface: WsdlDefinitionHttpHandler
+ and WebServiceMessageReceiverHttpHandler.
+ The former maps an incoming GET request to a WsdlDefinition.
+ The latter is responsible for handling POST requests for web services messages and thus
+ needs a WebServiceMessageFactory (typically a
+ SaajSoapMessageFactory) and a
+ WebServiceMessageReceiver (typically the
+ SoapMessageDispatcher) to accomplish its task.
+
+
+ To draw parallels with the servlet world, the contexts property plays
+ the role of servlet mappings in web.xml and the
+ WebServiceMessageReceiverHttpHandler is the equivalent of
+ a MessageDispatcherServlet.
+
+
+ The following snippet shows a simple configuration example of the HTTP server
+ transport:
