could you please give me a sample code on how an Http Server(Java) receives the request of a client(android)? I mean the client sends the request via Httppost, how the server takes the content of these requests in order to see the context and reply? I am trying to built a chat application.
Thank you in advance!
The server-side of HTTP is usually implemented using the protocol stack provided by a web container. You would then implement your application’s server-side as servlets. There are numerous tutorials on this.
If that’s the way you want to proceed, look at one of the standard web containers; e.g. Tomcat, Jetty, Glassfish, etc. The source code for all of these is available for you to browse, though I should warn you that they are all complicated under the hood.
Assuming that your HTTP service is going to be delivering JSON or XML (rather than HTML) to clients, you may want to look into using a RESTful framework.
