I m looking for a simple java library which would let me make a java web server and share some files. Is there any libraries which would let me achieve this?

  • Why do you need a library and not the server itself? Commented Aug 23, 2011 at 5:53
  • I would like to make a very simple application which will automatically create a web server and share file across the network..without installing anything except application Commented Aug 23, 2011 at 5:56
  • Is JSP support a requirement or is it just for pure static content? There are many lightweight webservers for static content, lighter than Jetty. Even plain Java 1.6 ships with a builtin one (albeit a bit hidden). Commented Aug 23, 2011 at 20:53

Use jetty - the lightweight web server and servlet container.

There is a host of different web servers which all can do what you want (provided it just is allowing users to download files).

A good, small library with a simple-to-get-started method, is the Acme Laboratory Java pages.

serves the current directory without any fuzz.

You can directly use an Apache WebServer setup for this.

I did not downvote, but the OP tagged jsp and Apache HTTPD doesn't support it at all. That might have been the downvote reason :)
