Description

Thrift comes with a THttpClient used to consume Thrift services over an HTTP transport.

Thrift however does not come with a Thrift specific servlet to serve those services.

Tom White's servlet (http://www.lexemetech.com/2007/09/java-servlet-for-thrift.html, http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en&sa=N&cd=1&ct=rc#vusEaWnOsAk/thrift/TServlet.java&q=TServlet) is probably in wide use but it would be great to have a standard Thrift servlet everyone can build upon.

I've adapted Tom's Servlet to allow for Processor/Protocol parameterization.

I've not cleared the licensing issues though, as Tom's original work has no license associated with it.
