so I need to create a java game server and I'm looking for good tools to do it.

I'm also pretty much familiar with CXF Web Services technologies and i was wondering if I could use it to create a server for a multiplayer game where I will probably need to manager game sessions and other "multiplayer game" stuffs, or maybe web services are not adapted for that?

Thank you!

Answer 1

You can. But if you want to provide an easy to use API, perhaps REST would be a better architecture, since it's much easier to write a REST client. Today, I would only recommend SOAP Web Services as an integration solution.

Answer 2

There are some great platforms out there that provide a full range of backend services for games. It will save you a lot of time and headache :)

E.g take a look at Parse
