The goal of simple is to bring the power of simplicity to the world of server side java. the primary focus of the project is to provide a truly embeddable java based http engine capable of handling enormous loads.

simple provides a truly asynchronous service model, request completion is driven using an internal, transparent, monitoring system. this allows simple to vastly outperform most popular java based servers in a multi-tier environment, as it requires only a very limited number of threads to handle very high quantities of concurrent clients.

simple has consistently out performed both commercial and open source java servlet engines and has a fully comprehensive api that is as usable for experienced java developers as it is for beginners.
