HTTP Servers
Web Server:
Also called HTTP Server. A computer where Web sites and Internet sites are stored. The server software uses HTTP to serve HTML documents, associated files, and scripts when requested by a Web browser.

Although it might seem that a web server is a machine, it is really a process running on a machine that serves HTTP content to web browsers on client machines. This is important because you can actually put several web servers on a single machine as long as you designate specific ports through which traffic will travel. Along the same lines, there are also FTP servers, mail servers, and so on, each of which handles a specific type of traffic.

The Miniature Java Web Server
The Miniature Java Web Server includes most of functionality of real Web Servers including running servlets. The server is pretty small as in Java code as in result byte code. General purpose of the Web server is running and debugging servlets. However, if you host not so high loaded web site, you can use the server as a regular web server with some benefits against big brothers.
This web server works also on PDA like Sharp Zaurus LS5xxx, or on Windows CE based handhelds when JVM installed. It gives additional flexibility for your PDA, since using file upload and download servlet can simplify file synchronization and provide control of your PDA from web.
