Java App to receive http PUT and Get request

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 da开发者_StackOverflow中文版ta (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

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.

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

You can consider embedding a webserver like Jetty (start/stop it from java app) if you want to get the full benefits of HTTP parsing.
