It is true that each takes care of whatever the protocol demands, but lower level operations such as painting the actual map, accessing raster and vector data, reprojecting data if necessary and so on, those are done by the GeoTools libraries. Other specific needs are sometimes addressed by other external libraries, e.g., SVG handling is done by Batik, GeoJSON is done by json-lib, REST basic support is done by Restlet, and so on.
