The servlet connector is really just facade to a Sevlet implementation. The implementing servlet does the work of receiving a request, the connector can then hand-off the request to any receivers registed with it. There is notion of a dispatcher for this connector, it is triggered by a request and may or may not return a response.

Mule provides a REST style service implementation that uses the servlet connector. For more information see Mule REST.

The javadoc for this transport provider can be found here . And the Source Xref can be found here .

The connector class name is org.mule.providers.http.servlet.ServletConnector
