I guess existing Apache SOAP server solution is really servlet based. I think also, somebody who wants to parse HTTP header hardly will want to impement servlet API (because it is rather big for small service).
At the same time , if impelementing some custom API to support HTTP, it will be probably not standard, so the SOAP solution for this will be custom as well. I mean anyway add SOAP intergration is less complex than write own HTTP server, I would suggest start searching over web for free open source simple http implementation. I would also recommend to stay with servlet engine. If current version are too complex, adn require a lot of memery - try to find older version, without EJB and JSP support, or disable all unnecessary services on current implementation.
