Creating a REST webserver with security

I am very new to creating webservers - and I have had several goes at trying to understand them and write a quick webserver, but it's never quite 'clicked'. At the moment I am under the impression that REST would be most suitable for my purposes (I will explain later).

Can anyone either show me a basic code example in Java (using Tomcat Apache) or a tutorial resource to show how a webserver:

Many thanks.

PS - I would have thought there might have been soemthing that comes with Eclipse Ganymede? If someone can confirm?

The best way to write restful resources in Java is via the JAX-RS standard. So I'd recommend you download Jersey which is the JAX-RS reference implementation and check out its examples; its got lots of them. Take an example for a spin then try hacking it to do what you like.

BTW JAX-RS can be run inside any Servlet engine - you just build a WAR and deploy it (there are examples in the Jersery samples) - though Jersey also comes with a small lightweight web server you can use too which is a little easier to use - again there are examples in the distro of this.
