I am trying to learn web programming using Java, and I ran into bunch of frameworks which supports servlet to create webpages, such as Jetty and Apache Tomcat.

If I wanted to create a web page that has one button(not text), is Jetty/Tomcat required? From what I read, it seems all tutorials uses Jetty/Tomcat and servlet to create even a simple text based webpage.

If all I wanted my server to do was to accept incoming connection and display a button on the webpage(for example, user would just type hhtp://1.1.1.1:8080 and a webpage with a button will show up), is Jetty or Tomcat still required? Can I do it without them?

If so, is there an example for it?

    As iNan points out, Apache HTTP is enough for plain HTML.

    However, I think you are referencing Java website in its simplest form. If that so, try writing Java Servlet. A servlet is simply an entry point for HTTP response and request. Servlet in its simplest form looks something like this:

    (copied from http://www.mkyong.com/servlet/a-simple-servlet-example-write-deploy-run/)

    package com.mkyong;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

public class ServletDemo1 extends HttpServlet{

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException{
    PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
    out.println("<html>");
    out.println("<body>");
    out.println("<h1>Hello Servlet Get</h1>");
    out.println("</body>");
    out.println("</html>"); 
     }
 }

    Obviously there are several other stuff needed to be setup in the process (refer to the link above), but this is the simplest one. If you want to make a more complex Java-based website, you can use JSP (Java Server Page).

    Hope this will help.
