Hi all

I wonder what is the commonly used method and protocol for a, say, smartphone application to send its data to a web application (where these data should be proceeded and stored).

My naive beginner's approach would be something like this:

• From my smartphone app, use a framework encoding my data object into a json object
• Send this object via http to a listener addressed by a dedicated URL
• On the server side, use a JSON parser and store it via ORM etc. into a database

Questions:

1. Is this too naive?

2a. If yes: What is the appropiate way to tackle this workflow? 2b. If no: What frameworks to use in JAVA for serializing/deserializing to/from JSON objects?

1. Any example for a json listener in the web? Tutorial for a http-protocol based Java listener?

Thanks for all answers and suggestions in advance.
