+===== Ridiculously simple echo server =====
-Connection to host lost.
+When a script is started in listening mode, standard-output is attached to the socket's output stream and the messages from the socket's input stream are available line-by-line to the programmer in variable ''line''. Thus our echo server can be reimplemented as:
+<code groovy|Example 7: a really simple echo server (at-m42/Examples/lecture10/simpleServer.groovy)>
+extern> http://www.cpjobling.org.uk/~eechris/at-m42/Examples/lecture10/simpleServer.groovy
+</code>
+Run this as
+<cli prompt='>'>
+e:\dev\at-m42-2009\Examples\lecture10> groovy -l 12345 simpleServer.groovy
+</cli>
+Then run any of the TCP clients developed earlier.
+===== A 75 Line Web Server ======
+To demonstrate the power of Groovy, Jeremy Rayner, one of the core Groovy developers, wrote a simple HTTP server in less than 75 lines of code!
-Another feature of Groovy is that scripts can be started with a special command line argument that starts them as a server process which listens to port
+[[http://svn.codehaus.org/groovy/trunk/groovy/groovy-core/src/examples/commandLineTools/SimpleWebServer.groovy|Listing]] is in the notes.
-===== A 75 Line Web Server ======
+It really works:
+<cli prompt='>'>
+e:\dev\at-m42-2009\Examples\lecture10>groovy -l 80 SimpleWebServer.groovy
+</cli>
+----
+<code groovy 1|Example 8: a web server in 74 lines of code>
