Answer 1

This solution uses a JAX-WS Endpoint:

import java.io._
import javax.xml.ws._
import javax.xml.ws.http._
import javax.xml.transform._
import javax.xml.transform.stream._

@WebServiceProvider
@ServiceMode(value=Service.Mode.PAYLOAD)
class P extends Provider[Source] {
  def invoke(source: Source) = new StreamSource( new StringReader("
Hello There!
"));
}

val address = "http://127.0.0.1:8080/"
Endpoint.create(HTTPBinding.HTTP_BINDING, new P()).publish(address)

println("Service running at "+address)
println("Type [CTRL]+[C] to quit!")

Thread.sleep(Long.MaxValue)

You can copy it to a file WebServer.scala and run it simply by typing:

scala WebServer.scala
