Configuration

configure http protocol：

<dubbo:protocol name="http" port="8080" />

configure Jetty Server (default)：

<dubbo:protocol ... server="jetty" />

configure Servlet Bridge Server (recommend)：

<dubbo:protocol ... server="servlet" />

configure DispatcherServlet：

<servlet>
         <servlet-name>dubbo</servlet-name>
         <servlet-class>org.apache.dubbo.remoting.http.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
         <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
         <servlet-name>dubbo</servlet-name>
         <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Note that if you use servlets to dispatch requests:

• the port of protocol <dubbo:protocol port="8080" /> must same as servlet container’s.
• the context path of protocol <dubbo:protocol contextpath="foo" /> must same as servlet application’s.
