Hi Stefan,

I recommend you to use Jetty for this, it will allow you to do exactly what you want (ie start a small service with few lines of code and inject some handlers..), we use it in soapUI for mocking webservices and it works just great..

Thanks for clarifying that to me, Roland!

Tomcat on the other hand is way too oversized, since I just want to
start a small service with a few lines of code, inject a
request/response-handler (e.g. based on JMock) run a test and shut
that thing down again. Thought, HttpCore could provide me with the
service part of it, but ok, that's what prototypes are good for,
right?

There's one in the test code for HttpCore, and a slightly different
one in the test code for HttpClient (though the latter still lacks
some pieces for expect-continue handling). Both are based on the
HttpService class and the ElementalHttpServer example.

Exactly. "Core" is not a higher level API. See our project charter,
section "Project Scope", item 2:

   Jakarta HttpComponents will provide ONLY a toolset of low level
   generic transport APIs. In particular, server side application
   layer APIs WILL NOT be developed.
   http://jakarta.apache.org/httpcomponents/charter.html

Please use the Servlet API for that purpose, for example in Tomcat:
        http://tomcat.apache.org/
Our project charter was specifically drafted to avoid scope clashes
with other Apache projects.

cheers,
  Roland
