title: How does the control get transferred from Web Server to Servlet Container
body: <p>Quoting Java Servlet API Spec : "A client (e.g., a Web browser) accesses a Web server and makes an HTTP request.This request is received by the Web server and handed off to the servlet container."</p>
  
  <p>Can anyone elaborate on how exactly this control is passed( from Web server to Servlet Container)?Does it use HTTP connectors of some kind like Apache Coyote?</p>
