There is an open source desktop program which is written in Java (Swing) and uses an embedded database (derby). Now I need to develop a mechanism that user can synchronize its data against a server that (s)he doesn't loose his/her data in the case of any OS or hardware crash.
At first I want to know which server-side technology is matching the needs. For example is it ok that the software connects to a remote database directly or send and receive data by http requests to some URLs?
If it is better to use some sort of server-side programming, should it be simple URLs which receive parameters and give XML documents or it is better to have web services?
As the software is open source and non-commercial, there is no money back from users, what kind of web server could be reasonable (economical)?
If you need to know more details in order to suggest a good design, please ask me. I can't give more details here right now. :)
