I have a WCFRIA C#
SOAP server and a
Java Spring REST/JSON server that I want to access from my first android app.
I need to implement forms based authentication: I need to authenticate a username and password and receive a session ID for subsequent calls.
I see there are several prospective libraries for building clients.
What are your favorites? Jersey Client? Apache HTTPClient?
While I was looking in
maven I saw some client libraries with "android" in them. Do I need to use one of these? Will these run in a desktop app outside the emulator.
Can I expect to write a prototype desktop SWING client in eclipse to
test my code and then cut and paste this java SOAP client code (and REST client code) into an android app and have that android app work?
Thanks
Siegfried
