Use a
ServerSocket(http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/ServerSocket.html) to listen on port 80.If a request comes in,
accept()it and use the resultingSocket‘sgetInputStream()andgetOutputStream()methods to grab stream objects to handle the data transfer with.Then just parse out the request coming in on the
InputStreamand send your reply (including HTTP headers!!!) through theOutputStream. Then, close the connection and you’re done.If you need to write a server that can actually handle many simultaneous requests without taking a performance hit, you should definitely check out Java’s NIO framework. Do not use one Thread per connection, if scalable performance is an issue.
