Looking for a good tutorial/coding examples on writing a JSON RPC server in Java.
There seems to be a couple of different options but none that I have seen provide a concrete working example (there is always something that is missing). Can anyone suggestion good webpage? I don't care what package I use at this point. Something that is easy an simple to get running would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ed

You should use something JAX-RS compliant.

Maybe that already ships with your server.

If not then get either RESTEasy for Jersey.

There must be hundreds examples of creating JAX-RS services
in the internet.

A few:

In article <54178a93$0$300$1472...@news.sunsite.dk>,

Also Jackson JSON and Google GSON for adding modular JSON object mapping
and manipulation to existing applications. I like Jackson's
performance-tuned APIs for streaming and translating between different
object mappings.

I will not see posts from astraweb, theremailer, dizum, or google
because they host Usenet flooders.

Do these suggestions _easily_ integrate into an RPC mechanism? The ones I saw include:

jsonrpc4j
json-rpc
java-json-rpc
lib-json-rpc
simplejsonrpc
gson-rmi

On the client side I am using "Go". On the server side I want to use Java.
To give you an idea of what I am looking for and have found for Go:

http://jan.newmarch.name/go/rpc/chapter-rpc.html

This provides a nice easy concrete example of how to make use of JSON RPC. That is all I am looking for from Java. Kind of like "Hello world" example but for JSON RPC.

JAX-RS is REST style not RPC style.

So no - it will not fit JSON-RPC.

But on the hand it will fit with what most other people are doing!
