== Server-Side Web Application APIs Changes
Jetty 12 introduced redesigned server-side APIs for web applications.
In Jetty 11, these APIs were based on a mix of Jakarta Servlet APIs and Jetty Handler APIs, while in Jetty 12 they are solely based on Jetty Handler APIs.
In Jetty 12 you can now write web applications independently of the Servlet APIs, so you can migrate Jakarta Servlets to Jetty Handlers as explained in xref:servlet-to-handler[this section].
If you were already using the Jetty 11 Handler APIs, you can migrate them to the Jetty 12 Handler APIs as explained in xref:api-changes-handler[this section].

=== `Handler`
The server-side `Handler` class, and the APIs to use for request/response processing, have been redesigned in Jetty 12.
The Jetty 11 `Handler` method:
`Handler.handle(String target, Request jettyRequest, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)`
has been changed in Jetty 12 to:
`Handler.handle(Request request, Response response, Callback callback)`
The Jetty 11 `target` parameter has been removed, and in Jetty 12 it has been replaced by the information present in `Request.getHttpURI()`.
In Jetty 11, ``Handler``s would mark the fact that they handled the request, and therefore are producing a response, by calling `Request.setHandled(true)`.
In Jetty 12, this is performed by returning `true` from the `Handler.handle(\...)` method, which also requires that the `Callback` parameter must be completed, either by succeeding it or failing it.
In Jetty 11, the `Handler.handle(\...)` method has a blocking semantic, while in Jetty 12 the `Handler.handle(\...)` method has an asynchronous semantic, thanks to the `Callback` parameter.
This means that you can return from the `Handler.handle(\...)` method _before_ the response has been sent, similarly to what you can do with the Servlet APIs when you call `HttpServletRequest.startAsync()`.
Similarly, in Jetty 11 after a call to `startAsync()` you must call `AsyncContext.complete()`, while in Jetty 12 you must complete the `Callback` parameter, either by succeeding it or failing it.
In Jetty 11, `AbstractHandler` provides a utility class to implement `Handler`.
In Jetty 12, use `Handler.Abstract`.
In Jetty 11, the APIs to deal with request or response HTTP headers are based on either Jetty's `HttpFields`, or the Servlet APIs.
In Jetty 12, the HTTP headers API are only based on `HttpFields`.
Please refer to the `HttpFields` link:{javadoc-url}/org/eclipse/jetty/http/HttpFields.html[javadocs] for details.
In Jetty 11, the request content is accessed via `Request.getInputStream()` or `HttpServletRequest.getInputStream()`.
In Jetty 12, the `Request` object itself _is-a_ `Content.Source` that can be read as explained in xref:arch/io.adoc#content-source[this section].
In Jetty 12, you can use `Content.Source.asInputStream(request)` to obtain an `InputStream` and minimize the changes to your code, but remember that `InputStream` only provides blocking APIs, while `Content.Source` provides non-blocking APIs.
In Jetty 11, the response content is accessed via `Response.getOutputStream()` or `HttpServletResponse.getOutputStream()`.
In Jetty 12, the `Response` object itself _is-a_ `Content.Sink` that can be written as explained in xref:arch/io.adoc#content-sink[this section].
In Jetty 12, you can use `Content.Sink.asOutputStream(response)` to obtain an `OutputStream` and minimize the changes to your code, but remember that `OutputStream` only provides blocking APIs, while `Content.Sink` provides non-blocking APIs.
