Research direction
The issue requests creating an EventSourceHandler and deprecating EventSourceServlet. First, examine the current EventSourceServlet implementation in Jetty (likely in org.eclipse.jetty.servlets). Then, understand how other Handlers (e.g., ServletHandler) are structured in Jetty to design a similar Handler for SSE. Look for existing SSE related code or tests in the repository. Finally, consider backward compatibility and deprecation strategy.
