For that kind of work, I wouldn't recommend this class ( sorry, my other reply is to your first question ).
This is a SIMPLE http server. You would have to emulate an application server ( like Tomcat ) yourself if you want full-blown servlet / jsp functionality. You could define a simple jsp-ish domain specific language and parse it yourself, though.
That might be an interesting exercise, but not one that would appeal to me.
