I also want to understand the concept behind implementing a HTTP server. Can you explain any particular implementation? I was wondering about also using other languages than Java. How would I build in a different language like C/C++? My question is more aimed at the concept behind the implementation instead of an actual implementation.<br />
<br />
I want to see how to do it in an overall way, and figure out what implementation I want to use then.<br />

I want to build an application that can take HTTP get and post requests and process them and send a result back in an XML format. <br />
<br />
I would like suggestions on how do I go about doing this? I want to run my own server for handling the requests and sending them to appropriate classes for handling the requests, and come back with a response.<br />
<br />
I need some information on this asap.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Building an application that services HTTP requests

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
