In my java based web application (struts 2 and hibernate 3). I have made a web-service using apache axis.

The web-service has to return data from the database which will be used by the android application.

Now, that service obviously has to be published on a public ip so that I can access it in the android app.

  1. What are the options to publish it on free public ip’s or domains ?
  2. Would it be better if I use REST instead of apache-axis to make a web-service? What is JAX?
  3. And for android developers , How a web service is consumed in android?

Please answer its urgent and important.

    In order to publish on the web you need to put it on a web enabled server, you can do it in several ways:

    1. Turn your computer to a server (thuis is one article, just search in google “how to turn my computer to web server”).
    2. Upload your files to a free host
    3. Upload your files to a paid host (usually for a very small fee)

    REST vs SOAP (apache-axis):

    I would recommend going with REST as it is more lighweight and more flexible (it enables you to get a response as xml,json,html while soap is usually just XML).

    JAX-RS id java API for creating REST web services. Look at the jersey framework.

    AJAX is a way to send/get data asynchronously and is used wideley in web applications.

    How a web service is consumed in android can wideley vary depending on the technology you are using.
