Minimal server
Hi,
Perhaps this is a strange question.
Basically, I believe that (for many purposes) the
browser provides the easiest way to create a GUI. I
want to write a program that can be interfaced to via
a browser.
However, I do not want it to run out of Tomcat since I
want the presence of the java virtual machine to be
the only requirement in order for the program to run.
Can this be done? I basically want to program to have
a thread that listens to some port and launches a
servlet when a request is made.
Many thanks in advance!
Dola

Tomcat itself is reasonably easy to embed, from what I understand. Jetty is
another light weight servlet container that is particularly well suited to
embedding as well.
While you can create minimal servers and such yourself, it's nice to have
something more full featured, because then you can simply code to the
Servlet API, and leverage the nice things that it does for you rather than
reinventing the assorted wheels.
So, you'll get things like Filters, Sessions, Event listeners, Request
processing, Forwarding, etc. The whole HTTP stack.

Sure. But perhaps something like Jetty, or Simple would be more
appropriate.
http://jetty.mortbay.org/jetty/
http://simpleweb.sourceforge.net/
Here is an example of an application with uses Simple as an embedded
HTTP engine:
