Minimal Java webserver with JSP support

Question

What are some of the smallest Java webservers with JSP support? Mostly just looking for how to implement JSP support using built-in code.

Or is there no such thing? Are the only things out there, full-blown J2EE webservers?

The purpose of getting some of the JSP component(s) is so we can use them in our own webserver.

Answer 1

Take a look at Jetty: http://jetty.codehaus.org/jetty/

Jetty is used in a wide variety of projects and products. Jetty can be embedded in devices, tools, frameworks, application servers, and clusters. See the Jetty Powered page for more uses of Jetty.

Answer 2

I suggest you look at how Winstone (which by default is without JSP) allows for Jasper to be plugged in to get JSP-support. This approach is - to me - a bit more minimalistic than the Jetty one and easier to analyze in this particular regard.

Out of curiosity, why are you developing your own webserver?

Answer 3

If you want a really small one, check TinyJavaWebServer. It has JSP support, and it is way smaller than jetty.
