GServ may be used to serve static content along with dynamic REST resources

 prompt> gserv -s /public -r Math.groovy -p 12000 

 [Resource("/math"){ get "/", { write "text/plain", "Welcome to our GServ Math example" } 
 get "/:num1/:num2/:operation", { num1, num2, operation -> def ans = 0 def msg = "" switch ( operation ){ case "add" : ans = (num1 as int) + (num2 as int); case "subtract" : ans = (num1 as int) - (num2 as int); case "multiply" : ans = (num1 as int) * (num2 as int); case "divide" : ans = (num1 as double) / (num2 as double); msg = "$operation($num1, $num2) = $ans" default: msg = "Operation: $operation is not supported"; } write "text/plain", msg } }]
