    public class DefaultHandler

extends AbstractHandler

Default Handler. This handle will deal with unhandled requests in the server. For requests for favicon.ico, the Jetty icon is served. For reqests to '/' a 404 with a list of known contexts is served. For all other requests a normal 404 is served. TODO Implement OPTIONS and TRACE methods for the server.
