title: Using Jersey without an application server
body: <p>I am looking to use Jersey without the need of installing an application server such as Tomcat or Glassfish. Ideally I would like to create a lightweight program that listens on a port and allows connections. I believe you can do this with Grizzly + Jersey but I am not sure how easy this is, because from my understanding Grizzly is used to write new http servers from scratch?</p>
  
  <p>Restlet looked good in this regard because it included an internal http server but the documentation provided is extremely meager. </p>
