I’m writing my first client/server android app, and need an advice regarding server architecture.
My app is not a browser based app, but a stand alone client.
On server side i use hibernate/JPA and would like to transfer objects to client side.
What should I use:

  1. Implement MVC- meaning writing servlets that will handle http requests (via Apache for example).

  2. Write my own stand alone primitive server, meaning using simple sockets connection(in java for example), and handle each client in a different thread.

if you can think on a better way, you’re more than welcome to share..

    HTTP is definitly your choice since many carrier will block other protocols, since application servers/containers will take care of handling the multiple connexions and since it will also be a base if you decide to have a browser-based version some day …

    REST + JSON based webservices are well suited for android, given its simplicity, lightness and readability, but SOAP is also available via kSOAP2.
