Again, you will have to try them out in your network situation to see
about "decent response".

I don't know any that don't.

Most offer the built in HTTP server to serve the Java viewer.

This is the opposite of what you asked above.  Installing a VNC server is
as easy as the setup program.

With the exception of the current RealVNC4 beta, I think all have a
"connect to listening viewer" option (assuming you are referring to the
server being remote).
