```
@Contract
@ConstrainedTo(SERVER)
public interface WebServer
```
Jersey service contract for self-contained servers.
Runs a self-contained Application in a Container using a Web Server implicitly started and stopped together with the application.

The WebServer instance is wrapped by the implementation of SeBootstrap.Instance.

Since:

3.1.0

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`Container`	`container()`
`int`	`port()`
`CompletionStage<?>`	`start()`	Initiates server bootstrap.

`<T> T`	`unwrap(Class<T> nativeClass)`	Provides access to the native handle(s) of the server, if it holds at least one.

- Method Detail
  - container
```
Container container()
```
    Returns:
    
    container in which the application lives.
  - port
```
int port()
```
    Returns:
    
    IP port the application listens to for requests.
  - start
```
CompletionStage<?> start()
```
    Initiates server bootstrap.
    Startup happens in background. The completion stage produces a native startup result.
    
    Portable applications should not expect any particular result type, as it is implementation-specific.
    
    Returns:
    
    A CompletionStage providing a native startup result of the bootstrap process. The native result MAY be null.
  - stop
```
CompletionStage<?> stop()
```
    Initiates server shutdown.
    Shutdown happens in background. The completion stage produces a native shutdown result.
    
    Portable applications should not expect any particular result type, as it is implementation-specific.
    
    Returns:
    
    A CompletionStage providing a native shutdown result of the shutdown process. The native result MAY be null.
  - unwrap
```
<T> T unwrap(Class<T> nativeClass)
```
    Provides access to the native handle(s) of the server, if it holds at least one.
    Implementations MAY use native handles to identify the server instance, and / or use those to communicate with and control the instance. Whether or not such handles exist, and their respective data types, is implementation-specific.
    
    Portable applications should not invoke this method, as the types of supported handles are implementation-specific.
    
    Parameters:
    
    nativeClass - The class of the native handle.
    
    Returns:
    
    The native handle, or null if no handle of this type exists.
