Hi Vijay,

You can take a look at the code for ListenHTTP to get an idea of how you could 
write a processor to do what you want with your own servlet. ListenHTTP uses 
embedded Jetty:
https://github.com/apache/nifi/blob/master/nifi-nar-bundles/nifi-standard-bundle/nifi-standard-processors/src/main/java/org/apache/nifi/processors/standard/ListenHTTP.java

There's a few articles around that describe how to write your own processor:
https://medium.com/hashmapinc/creating-custom-processors-and-controllers-in-apache-nifi-e14148740ea
https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/developer-guide.html

Cheers,
Nathan

    Hi Bryan
    
    So we implemented it based on your suggestion, and it works, however, for 
concerns unrelated to NiFi  from the team, I  will need to go back to the 
original idea which is standup  a servlet from within my .nar file.
    
    Is it possible and if so can you point me to an example?
    
    Thank you, 
    
    Vijay
