tinyserver

A generic, salable, multi-threaded HTTP server. Written in Java. Build in Maven. Allow concurrent connections, and easy to scale to multicore architecture / distributed environment. Easy to modify and integrate to your application.

How to use:

1. Example 1: Start with Single Server.

   public class SimpleStarter { private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(SimpleStarter.class.getName()); public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { try { new GenericServer().start(); } catch (Exception ex) { log.log(Level.SEVERE, "Could not start webserver{0}", ex.getMessage()); System.exit(0); } } }

   Class GenericServer is our tiny server, in the code above it will choose an available port in your system to startup. You can place your resource file under ./tinyserver/src/main/resources/var/public_html/

2. Example 2: Start with your own server configuration

   try { File config = new File(CONF_PATH); new GenericServer(config).start(); } catch (final Exception ex) { log.log(Level.SEVERE, "Could not start webserver{0}", ex.getMessage()); System.exit(0); }

   The server will use the property specified in your CONF_PATH to startup. Example property file is available at ./tinyserver/src/main/resources/var/server.prop

3. Example 3: Start multiple servers (useful in cloud environment) public void defaultStart() {

    MyWebServerThread server1 = new MyWebServerThread();
    MyWebServerThread server2 = new MyWebServerThread();
    
    Thread webserver_thread1 = new Thread(server1);
    Thread webserver_thread2 = new Thread(server2);
    
    webserver_thread1.start();
    webserver_thread2.start();
   

   }

   private class MyWebServerThread implements Runnable { private GenericServer server; public void run() { try { File config = new File(CONF_PATH); server = new GenericServer(config); server.start(); } catch (final Exception ex) { log.log(Level.SEVERE, "Could not start webserver{0}", ex.getMessage()); System.exit(0); } }

    public int getPort() {
        if(server != null) {
            return server.getPort();
        } else {
            return -1;
        }
    }
   

   }

   You can create as many server as you want, and modify the code to fit your requirements.
