hello
we have an existing web app which text files which are downloaded by the client daily. they later told us that their employees who use this got lazy and wanted to automate this instead.
plan was to send client a local
java app that automatically downloads everyday at midnight all text files generated for the day. (http download with file contents as xml strings). my concern here is network related issues. if lets say the contents of 10 files are converted into a large xml
string and the string downloaded by the client. You would need to repeat entire download if network fails in the middle of download.
is there a better way of doing this? there are java apis or third party libraries which does it more efficiently?
