Java App to receive http PUT and Get request

Question

I am looking for advice on how to go about writing a small and simple application that will receive http GET and http PUT request, process the data (simple text files) and respond.

I have all ready done this using threads and sockets but there must be a simpler and more efficient way. Also when I run my application using wireshark I am not convince I am using the http protocol as I should be.

Thanks
Alexis

Answer 1

You can use Tiny Java Web Server. ( http://tjws.sourceforge.net/ )

Alternatively, if you are using Java 6 or later, you can use the Http server API.

Answer 2

I used HttpComponents for similar purposes - it provides functionality for HTTP server and client parts implementation. It's easy to learn and use.

Answer 3

如果您想获得HTTP解析的全部好处，则可以考虑嵌入诸如Jetty之类的网络服务器（从Java应用程序启动/停止）。
