One desktop application needs to get some services from server.
For example sending some parameters and receiving some result.
Imagine implementing a solution by Java Servlets, in a way that the app sends the parameters to the servlet (POST) and receives the result in XML.
Does this approach have any security issue in compare with web-services (Soap / Restful) ?
Thanks and sorry if the question is a bit general.
As long as your solution has suitable authentication (username/password) and takes place over SSL, it’s no less secure than Web Services/SOAP. And indeed you might find it a simpler solution to implement.
