I am looking to develop a java REST web service to work with my android app that I am also developing and I have been trying to look for the best option to host the service and everything I find seems to lead me in a different direction.
Can anyone give me advice on what the best way to host a java REST web service would be? I can do linux or windows and am relatively familiar with the lamp stack and IIS.
Thank you
I would suggest looking at the Google App Engine for hosting, and writing the service in Java. I just set up a few services that way for an app I’m working on and it was fast and easy, and currently it’s free of charge for a very generous limited usage.
