Answer 1

So, I’m guessing you want to create the webservice in Java yeh? I’d use Jersey (which is the reference implementation of JAX-RS).

The website above has pretty good documentation on how to use Jersey, but in short you can do the following:

Download the jars and add them to your project or add the following to your pom.xml file

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.sun.jersey</groupId>
  <artifactId>jersey</artifactId>
  <version>0.8-ea</version>
</dependency>

Annotate your Resource pojo class with @Path to specify the url for that resource.

Annotate your methods with @Path to specify more fine grained urls.

Annotate your method arguments with @PathParam if you want to get access to the parts of the url path designated for that resource method.

Annotate your methods with @GET, @POST, @PUT or @DELETE to specify which HTTP method they will respond to.

Annotate your methods with @Produces/@Consumes to specify what MIME type the resource accepts or produces.

An example of a class that might use some or all of these methods is as follows:

@Path("/users/{username}")
public class UserResource {

    @GET
    @Produces("text/xml")
    public String getUser(@PathParam("username") String userName) {
      ...
    }
}

That’s the basics. It’s as easy as that. Knock yourself out.
