Is it possible to create a client in PHP for Restlet? - java

Im developing a java application that provides some methods using restlet to a android app.
I created the server and the client using this tutorial
(GAE server and Android client)
Now I need to make a PHP client that is able to access that data. Is that possible? What is the best way to do it?
I already tried to get the data using Advanced REST client but restlet always provide a 404 error
Edit: I can use any web language, PHP was used as an example

I ended up using a restlet extension
I hope it helps somebody else ;)

Restlet provides a way to implement RESTful applications. They are independent from the client so you should be able to consume them with any language.
I would recommend you to enable traces on the server side to find out what happens:
Engine.setLogLevel(Level.FINEST);
You can try to use curl to have a low-level view of exchanged messages (address / path, headers and payload).
Hope it helps you,

Use C# or VBA to call Jersey JAX-RS REST Webservice

I have a Jersey REST webservice and it works fine with java client. Now I'm wondering is it possible to use C# or VBA to call this webservice? Sorry I am new to C#/VBA. I am trying to create a add-in for excel. As far as I know I can use these two to create add-in. So my questions are:
What's the best way to create add-in in excel for getting/uploading data? Is Java possible? Or should I use C#?
If I use C#, is it possible to call java webservice in C#? I want to upload data via this webservice.
Thanks in advance.
Anything that can build an HTTP request matching the input expected for your Jersey REST service will work. JAX-WS and JAX-RS services are going to be exposed as agnostic access points for anything which can send an XML/JMS or HTTP request. You can confirm this by simply opening the endpoint in your web browser and trying to submit some GET requests that way.
That is the beauty of web services, they SHOULD be language agnostic. Basically you are just calling a url to return you some xml/json data which c# can handle.

sending messages from desktop applicationn to web application

I'm trying to implement a desktop application that could send http messages to an already open local web application so that it will be updated with this information.
Any suggestions?
The only idea I came up with is sending http requests to the relevant web server and implementing on the web server a servlet that will update the relevant web page according to userID.
Anyone has a more elegant solution?
As far as I understand you you want to implement servlet that performs HTTP connection to other, external server. If I am right the following discussion will help you:
How do I make HttpURLConnection use a proxy?
Take a look on the answer that explains how to use Proxy class introduced in java 1.5.

Communication between JSP/Servlet and PHP pages?

I am working on a web based Java application(on localhost) and I want to send email using a PHP script which is hosted on a free web hosting site and also return to my java app.
Like this ->
Java(localhost)---->PHP(send mail)---->Java(localhost)
Few questions regarding this?
How to do this?
What about the session stored by the java app? Will the PHP script
read or interpret java's session?
My suggestion is Implement an web service (in REST or SOAP Architecture) with php
then in java code call your web service and Implement an acknowledgement response for
successful or failure mail sending operation in your php!
SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) could be one of best approach for communication between
different platforms.
if you use php only because of ease of sending mail it would be fine to know that java also
have JavaMail API that can be used for mailing application very easily
I hope it be beneficial

Simple web service using Amazon SES

I would like to use AWS and especially Amazon Simple Email Service (SES) in order to setup a webservice allowing to send emails.
Emails would be triggered by some kind of POST request to the webservice with some authentication, and the webservice would then just send the email on behalf of the web service user.
Where should I start? The webservice part looks dead simple but I'm not familiar at all with web services. I still need to run some kind of multithreaded webserver since there could be a bunch of concurrent requests.
Is there a way for me to write a very simple web server in Ruby or Java to do that? Any pointer appreciated.
After some digging, the simplest solution is to use something like node.js or sinatra. The nice thing is that these are almost self-contained and require barely any configuration. They provide a very easy way to reply to HTTP requests.
Once you get one of these, you start the script with a port.
The small webservice will now listen on that port. You only need to take action based on the requests passed as parameter.
And yeah, now it sounds so obvious...
their documentation is good way to start. its quite easy to start, may encounter difficulties based on your problem domains.
you also need to implement something on top of this service.

Good Luck!
I would start with looking at AWS sdk Java.
They seem to support SES.

best way to communicate between .net and java

I have a .net application which needs to expose a service consumed by a java client. The service can't be public. There should be some authentication mechanism for the client. What is the best way to do this? I'm new to web services and am confused by all the soap, wsdl etc. and have also heard a lot that it'll be a pain to get the two to communicate. Your thoughts?
Web Services are the one of the best approaches for interoperability over WEB. it's not that much difficult to create and use. It's as simple as Connecting to different databases and writing XML parsing in your code.
There are so many ways doing authentication. If you are using the IIS for deploying .net web services, then You can use Windows Authentication, Forms Authentication. These 2 are out of the box features of IIS. You can implement your custom authentication also. There are few compatible cryptography algorithms also for encrypting your data.
Without web services, it's very difficult to establish communication between Java ad .net.
You can give a try for JSON also. But i am not sure.
Hey check this video which gives you details. http://skillsmatter.com/podcast/java-jee/consuming-a-dot-net-web-service-using-java
I'd go for a simple REST interface using something like Jersey on the Java side, and a .Net JSON library to parse the data I consume.
