It shouldn't be hard to implement the REST URLs directly on top of a Netty socket with HTTP encoders/decoders.  The problem is that is a lot of wheel-reinvention.  :)

Another approach may be to embed a servlet container, perhaps Jetty, then you can use the existing REST endpoint without any hassles?
