Target of the Project

This web service should be the back end for a messenger communicating to smartphones.

Development

This is a Maven Project developed in Eclipse.

Main topics

The Database is a MYSQL database on the same server where the tomcat is running. The schema of the database is described in 2015_Apr_08_DatabaseSchema.pdf. The main topic was, to separate the content of messages from the usage of the messages.

Restful Web service

The Project is a restful web service. It means it is stateless. For every request you send to the server the user and password of the user is needed. If the request was answered, the server forgets everything. No session is created for a user. This gives the option, to run multiple tomcat server behind a load balancer, but keep the database in a close contact, this will be then the bottleneck.
