• I want to implement a RESTful webservice for an Android App using JSON. Do i need something om my server running to make for example a GET request work , like with SOAP is the case. I have read something on servlets but i don't know if this is neccesary or not.

• Answer:

  In general, yes, but it also depends on what functionality you want the server to have. If you need to do any form of data processing on the server then yes, you'll need some amount of custom code capable of receiving input, processing, and producing output. If you just want a structured data store over HTTP (for example, you have clients adding and retrieving data blobs from the server but you don't need the server to modify them in any way) you could use a WEBDAV-capable web server and your client uses HTTP PUT/GET/DELETE requests to upload, retrieve, and manage data files (which could be XML or JSON).
