在现有的PHP服务器上构建REST Java API

Question

In a recent academic project I need to create some REST Java API (web service) that works on an existing PHP server. I don't have much clear ideas on how to implement it. How would you implement the logic? Is it okay to send a request (Ajax) to the web service, which it then forwards it to the PHP server? How would you implement it?

Thank you for your advises!

Answer 1

Java REST service could call PHP REST service. If REST service on php side not implemented, we can use some html robot for acting like a http client from java. HtmlUnit or Selenium for example.
