Hi all,
There's a web-based project I'm working on, which my boss insists
should be implemented as a java web service: I know Java, but I'm a
complete newcomer to web services, so I would badly need your
enlightened opinion to figure out if my boss is right.

I'm going to have two sorts of clients connecting to my (Apache) web
server: a "planner" user, making schedules of activities to be
performed and recording them on a MySQL database, and one or more
"watcher" users, monitoring activities and performing them when time
is due. Schedules could be modified on occasion by planner, and
watchers wouldn't (of course) know in advance.

My piece of software should feed watcher users with closest task when
they ask for it (so to have a count-down shown on their browser), and
issue an alarm when time is due. In the meantime, the tool should be
ready to acknowledge planner users should they make any modification
to the schedule, and in case, provide a timely update to all watchers.

Would you call this a good candidate for a java web service?

thanks in advance,
Michelle
