Disconnecting iPhone to Java EE

Question

I was looking for some opinions on the best methods to call remote methods when developing iPhone applications that interact with Java servers (java EE).

Currently, many iphone applications usually talk to the server. I usually prefer to write my servers in java using some Spring libraries. So far, I have not found or adhered to a specific practice for connecting iphone-> java server.

What are some technical solutions and libraries that you used to implement this kind of client-server interaction?

The only thing I always remember is that I want the communication protocols to be simple in order to add several platforms, for example, adding Android and possibly Blackberry clients in the future, which can use the same protocol to talk to the server .

Answer 1

I am currently doing this for work. Our backend is Java EE (with Spring), and then, of course, the front end of iOS. We use JSON as the payload format, as Knubo suggested. All of our web services are also RESTful to make building URLs and phone authentication easier.

RestKit, , RESTful, JSON - CoreData. YAJL JSON , .
