For me, Tomcat is just an example of a complete implementation. For our application we just need HTTP, HTTPS, and some basic server instrumentation and logging to identify problems. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group. To post to

Hi, Saw this as well - http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/communication/kws-android-web-server_hlfb.html Implementing a simple / custom webserver / appserver is pretty straight forward, don't understand why you'd need Tomcat (java servlet) capabilities ? Regards On Nov 6, 3:17

My experience is that Jetty (http://www.mortbay.org/jetty/) tends to be a bit more lightweight than tomcat, and also a LOT easier to embed (it's basically just a JAR file). Or you could try this: http://tjws.sourceforge.net/ Haven't tried it myself, but looks like it's designed to be

I guess if it's a wall mounted device, it might be ok.  But at that point why not just use a PC of sorts and use some linux distribution and use your app as is, why even use Android at all? You would be surprised how difficult it is to get a decent ARM based fanless PC with a stable linux and

Thanks Jason. Very useful. i-jetty looks quite interesting run as a service on android and may just be the ticket. I may also contact the tjws guy see if he is porting to android. On A/ this is meant for an in-wall device so no issues of power. Thanks again. MF On Nov 5, 7:20 am, Jason

Hello Marc and Bret would be nice, if you could describe what you try to do ?! Currently the easiest thing for you would be i-jetty, the android port of jetty from WebTide Look here : http://code.google.com/p/i-jetty/ And after that provide your impressions to the community. Thanks !

What we need is something with built-in 3G and WiFi, a small touch- screen, low power consumption, fan-less, and able to tolerate frequent power cycling. It should also have a large installed base (millions), lots of developers familiar with it, and the hardware should be available from a number

I'm afraid I agree with the previous postings. This looks difficult under Android Java, you may be better off by creating you own component server. I would recommend a server based on MDP messaging and sockets: MDP and a distributed Component/Service Model

All I gotta ask is, why? I'd imagine Tomcat is not written to be run in embedded/legacy devices such as an android device. You'd be wasting a lot of memory and cpu cycles. I guess if it's a wall mounted device, it might be ok. But at that point why not just use a PC of sorts and use some linux
