Hi,

I have the practical need of splitting up a protocol implementation in 3 
“parts”, because the protocol does a kind of “staged” setup whereby a 
connection goes through these steps in order. I also need the benefits of 
Contexts to maintain some state. Ideally, I would like to have the equivalent 
of a HandlerList but for Servlets being added to a ServletContextHandler. How 
could this be achieved?

Wrt to this question, I am confused about the 
ServletHolder.setServletHandler(). What is its purpose? Does it replace the 
handle() methods of the Servlet.class that is fed to the ServletHolder? 
Obviously, I tried to use setServletHandler() with a HandlerList, but that does 
not work. It is a bit lacking in the documentation and examples of how to used 
embedded Jetty. 

My first attempt was something along the lines of

        HandlerList setupHandlers = new HandlerList();
        setupHandlers.addHandler(new StageOneHandler());
        setupHandlers.addHandler(new StageTwoHandler());
        setupHandlers.addHandler(new StageThreeHandler());

        ServletHandler setupHandler = new ServletHandler();
        setupHandler.setHandler(setupHandlers);

        ServletHolder setupHolder = new ServletHolder(DefaultServlet.class);
        pairSetupHolder.setServletHandler(setupHandler);

But I clearly missed something from an architecture point of view

The (IMO) ugly workaround is to put the 3 stages in a regular Servlet, and do 
an if-then based on some bytes of the protocol payload, but I prefer the more 
beautiful solution ;-) Any help is welcome

Thanks
Karel
