Purpose of cxf-rt-transports-http-jetty

问题

I want to understand the purpose of below dependency while developing cxf webservices.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.cxf</groupId>
    <artifactId>cxf-rt-transports-http-jetty</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.7</version>
</dependency>

Without adding this dependency CXF simple frontend doesn't create the service.

Thanks,

Jetty provides a Web server and javax.servlet container for your CXF services. Adding the dependency above is like embedding the container into your application.

Alternatively, you can add this dependency using test scope in order to unit test your web services and deploy your application into an external container.

Please refer to http://cxf.apache.org/docs/transports.html for more information about available CXF transports.
