The smallest Java web server

Question

I need a simple web server to write a minimal web interface for the application. It should be something really different, like Webrick from the Ruby standard library or BaseHTTPServer from the Python standard library, just a way to save the server by listening to the port and respond to GET requests with a string.

thanks

Answer 1

NanoHTTPD

Try NanoHTTPD . I used it for Android .

NanoHTTPD is a lightweight HTTP server designed to be embedded in other applications released under the Modified BSD license.

Answer 2

Jetty

Jetty is what I personally prefer. It has a small amount of memory, easily integrates with Eclipse, can be used as a built-in Maven server.

Additionally you can see the Mini Web Server

Answer 3

com.sun.net.httpserver

A very cheap alternative:

Sun Java comes with its httpserver package since java 1.6

Provides a simple high-level HTTP server API that you can use to create embedded HTTP servers. Both "http" and "https" are supported.
