I need to implement a server that downloads a webpage and sends it to a client that saves it as a file.
On the server side I need to process socket.
So I was thinking about making a web service in java (with netbeans) but I don’t know how to start the web service (I use osx lion).
How can I start the web service?
Is there another way to solve my problem?
Thanks
I’d strongly consider just using an HTTP-based RESTful client/server, using any of a million server-side frameworks. The server-side option may influence the client side implementation.
For example, you could use something like Jersey, which can also create the client-side library needed to consume your service.
On the server side I’d use something like HttpClient to retrieve the websites that will be returned to the client app.
