Question

I’d like to ask if my solution is OK or if there is a better way to do this.

I have an Android client and a Tomcat server. I send a few words (as a POST saved in JSON) to server and server sends me back a JSON with an article containing those words.
Suppose it’s a public app, so a lot of people may send a ‘request’ for an article.

I’m not sure if I’m doing this right, or if there’s another and proper way to do this.

Thanks

Since you android client appears to be “Getting” an article you might consider using a GET request as opposed to a POST request, however the differences are trivial. Otherwise your solution sounds perfectly fine. Look into “REST” and “SOAP” as different options for writing web service APIs.
