Which technology should I use to implement a Java-written WebService, to consume with the apache HttpClient in android?

Question

I would like to create a Java-written RESTFul Web Service, possibly using an eclipse plugin.

This service should be consumed by an android application, using the apache HttpClient.

But my question is, which is the best/ideal technology (server side) to implement this kind of web service?

Answer 1

If it is going to be something simple you can either use Jersey or Spring and run it on Google App Engine.

Answer 2

www.restlet.org, which is also Google App Engine compatible. I'm using it to implement a RESTful data-transmission service.
