Is it possible to have an embedded database in a web application?

Question

Is it possible to have an embedded database in a small web application? I need that there is no need to install any database on the server machine. Just adding a jar to the folder, the database should work.

I use Java EE and Netbeans as an IDE. If possible, which open source databases can be implemented.

Any pointers to some useful lessons will be more helpful.
