My thoughts is that 6-7 MB for a tiny HTTP Server and/or servlet engine is
way, way, too much. I'm surprise that Jetty, originally intended to be simple
and embeddable, reached that size (which is 10 times larger than Lucene's core,
for example)!
For demo purposes, I wrote myself something similar, and its (uncompressed)
.class size is:
14 K for the basic HTTP server
24 K for the servlet container (jaxax.servlet API support)
And there's also the Servlet API itself from Sun, at around 40 K (this is part
of J2EE but not of J2SE, so you need to include this as well if you want to
use the servlet API). And that's it.
I'm sure that similar tiny Web Servers can also be found on the Web, but if
there's interest, I can see about publishing mine.
