Hi,
I'm looking at developing a server which receives and processes data from remote non-java-based devices over GPRS comms.
My initial idea was to have these devices poll a server for commands using HTTP Get requests, the response would have a file attachment containing XML based commands. Sending data to the server would be done via HTTP Post requests with attachments.
I considered writing a NIO based server but decided to use the benefits of appservers (hence HTTP based comms) rather than writing everything from scratch.
I've have looked around and most of the discussions regarding this are J2ME to
J2EE based. Also the server will be communicating with 1000's of these remote devices.
I was wondering if my overall approach is suitable or is there a better way?
Thanks for your help
Noel
