Yea, the built-in JDK HTTP server is pretty poor, but I don't think I've ever run across it in the wild thankfully. > There is no way to configure timeouts They're configured by properties if I recall. > Filters have to be added to each handler separately, by mucking with its filter list I personally prefer the explicitness of this. As for the rest... I think a lot of these issues stem from the fact it's an old, not particularly well-known API in the JDK.
