Http component VS Http connector

[Charles Souillard]

Hi all,

I am trying to expose a service on sm-http component.
Now I want to call this service thanks to httpclient.
I get an error : Connection refused
I can see that sm-http is using o.a.sm.http.HttpComponent

So I had a look at the http binding example and I can see that this 
sample is declaring a component in HttpConnector (o.a.sm.components.http)

I think HttpConnector is launching a http server and not HttpComponent ?

How does sm-http work ?????

Thanks
Charles
