Winstone is a servlet container that was written out of a desire to provide servlet functionality without the bloat that full J2EE compliance introduces. It is not intended to be a completely fully functional J2EE style servlet container (by this I mean supporting extraneous APIs unrelated to Servlets, such as JNDI, JavaMail, EJBs, etc) - this is left to Tomcat, Jetty, Resin, JRun, Weblogic et al. Sometimes you want just a simple servlet container - without all the other junk - that just goes. This is where Winstone is best suited. Winstone supports v2.4 servlet specification, and is available in a lite version (155KB) and a full version (329KB). It supports JSP 2.0 spec when apache jasper is enabled.

Pygmy is a tiny webserver ment for embedding into applications. The core of the server around 40KB. It provides a flexible way to plug-in features, similiar to apache modules or servlets, but it's a much more lightweight API. However, pygmy isn't a replacement for servlet technology. Servlet containers can be integrated into pygmy, and replace other heavyweight http servers. Pygmy can scale it's functionality down to the bare neccessities. Features can be optionally added and removed to reduce pygmy's already small binary size. Pygmy tries to err on the side of simplicity, but allow for enough flexiblity so that it can be tightly integrated with applications.
