Simple client - server application via REST : <p>How can one build Java application which consists of a client and a server that communicate using REST. I've been thinking to build client using Java FX(because it looks simple) and server as a Java servlet. I am fresh with Java but I am sitting with PHP everyday so I am well awared of MVC pattern but the real question is how to get this done simply in Java? Would you recommend me some framework? The app will be really simple because it will just have only few screens. There sould also be authentication using login and password for users, but thats all! Should I look into Spring maybe? Wouldn't it be overkill?</p>
