Java embedded browser with resources in memory

We have a Java desktop app with an embedded browser, now using XULRunner (Firefox engine) on SWT. This browser's API allows us to load webs specifying an URI or its HTML content. What we need is to load HTML webpages including resources but being everything in memory. The best solution would be to provide a listener used when the engine tries to load resources so we can send it the appropriate content.

Any ideas? thank you!

In HTML 5 your can put your resources inside the HTML itself.

So you can use SWT with browser that supports HTML 5 and prepare your webpages to have resources inside HTML 5.

With SWT Browser your can simply do browser.setText(html) to load the page from memory.

It sounds like you need a small HTTP / web server. There is Jetty, there are also a few smaller ones, just search for "small java web server" or so.
