Simple Web Server and MVC framework for Java

Does anyone know of a simple Web MVC framework and Web Server for Java that is open source?

This is intended as a simple web server and framework for students in a tutorial class.

It's important these both the web server and MVC framework are simple, OSS so students can easily peer under the hood and the tutors can easily support it, learn it and teach it.

UPDATE The suggestion I can avoid the single jar issue by unpacking several jars and joining them into one is a good suggestion. I'll definitely take it, and thus relax the single jar requirements

You could have a look at Stripes, which does not have any compile time dependencies (apart from itself, apparently) at all and only requires COS and Commons Logging during runtime.

It's also very lightweight and quite easy to pick up.
