What's the easiest way to create a simple HTTP server with Java? Are there any libraries in commons to facilitate this? I only need to respond to GET/POST, and I can't use an application server.
What's the easiest way to accomplish this?

Java 18's Simple Web Server is a minimal HTTP static file server that was added in JEP 408 to the jdk. httpserver module.
Installing HTTP server using NPM Run the command line/terminal on your system (it doesn't matter which directory you are currently in). Execute npm install -g http-server . Once NPM finishes, you have the tiny HTTP-server installed. That's it.
The HTTP handler is a Java component that consists of properties. The handler delivers an outbound integration message as an XML document to a URL by using HTTP or HTTPS protocols. The HTTP handler also evaluates the response code received from the external system.
An HTTP server is software that understands URLs (web addresses) and HTTP (the protocol your browser uses to view webpages). An HTTP server can be accessed through the domain names of the websites it stores, and it delivers the content of these hosted websites to the end user's device.
Use Jetty. Here's the official example for embedding Jetty. (Here's an outdated tutorial.)
Jetty is pretty lightweight, but it does provide a servlet container, which may contradict your requirement against using an "application server".
You can embed the Jetty server into your application. Jetty allows EITHER embedded OR servlet container options.
Here is one more quick get started tutorial along with the source code.
