Sure. But perhaps something like Jetty, or Simple would be more 
appropriate.


http://jetty.mortbay.org/jetty/
http://simpleweb.sourceforge.net/

Here is an example of an application with uses Simple as an embedded 
HTTP engine:

Re: Using hibernate

We are planing to use object/relational persistence and query service

Does anyone have any recomaidations for the above?
Take a serious look at Cayenne:

Much nicer than Hibernate in my opinion.
Cayenne is the open source sibling of NeXT's Enterprise Object  
Framework:

http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?EnterpriseObjectsFramework
Which is still somewhat available from Apple:

Does anyone has good/bad experience using similar technologies?
Yes. Both. Most of the time those O/R mapping tools are overkill. YMMV.
Have you considered _not_ using a SQL database in the first place?

For those who are curious. I decided to run apache AB against jetty to

If you are into this kind of micro-benchmarks, take a look at Simple:

Niall Gallagher ran some comparisons between Apache, Resin and Tomcat:

Quite instructive :P

Re: Authentication - Best practice

SSL is encryption using asymetric+symetric encryption. Asymetric is

You can also use TLS for authentication purpose with client side  
certificates.

Talking of X509, the Sun JVM comes with an handy (albeit private)  
package to generate your own self-signed certificates: check  
sun.security.x509.

Here is a pretty much self-contained usage example:

KeyManager.java?view=markup

Which is used by this application:

RFC 2617 - HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication

In a nutshell, neither Basic nor Digest offers much in terms of 
"security". That said, Basic is usually "good enough" for casual access 
control.

An easy way to enhance the security level is to run the above over TLS. 
Perhaps even leveraging client side certificates if necessary.

In any case, the main question is: WYTM?
