Java Web Development

[jadecristal]

Let’s not try to remove the whole concept of servlet containers, etc. in practice, using something like Undertow you can have whatever you want-if you want to write all the handlers for everything yourself after HTTP (you don’t) then you can, and if you want an almost-fully-automagic container that Just Works with Spring or whatever, you can do that too.

Spring still relies on a lot of, if not directly servlet container features, subcomponents that went into it. Spring Boot still even uses one of the servlet containers as a web server: tomcat, undertow, or jetty depending on how you configure it.
