The resource type: File, Filter, MIME, Servlet or

A Filter is a Servlet that is used when a reference is made to a
resource which ends with a specific file extension.
A MIME is a Servlet that is used when a reference is made to a
resource that returns content of the specified MIME type. MIME

specific URI.
A Servlet Context is used to maintain shared values across multiple
Servlets associated by a common base URI.
