It is possible to run a Jetty embedded server in a JavaFX program like this example: https://www.dynamsoft.com/codepool/java-web-twain-webview-document-scan.html

But it seems that it is not possible in B4J.

If it is Jserver , the answer is no, if you use ServerSocket, it is yes.

I think it is possible to create a server manager with UI.

Not in an UI-App. But using jServer you can for sure create a web-ui...

I have developed many non-UI jServer apps with Web UI but what I mean is remote server manager interface like this:

JRDC2 Interface - Remote Server Manager

Hello everyone :) *Thank you Erel for making this possible for us :) while we are working on the Skype & Twitch alternative project we had to modify the features of the JRDC2 a lot of times. and each time we did that we had to open the server, run CMD read the logs file, test the connections...

jServer shouldn't be used in a UI app. Bad things will happen over time.

You can however create a UI app that communicates with the server app.
