All I want to do is create a java application that executes and performs server side polling on a turn based game after authentication to an address space(java web hosting service).I'm a couple years away from writing web applications that ran through a remote server, but leveraged my local tomcat server to perform the server side logic.
First question, can tomcat/glassfish be used to generate non-web based applications?
Secondly.That being said, is it sufficient to simply use glassfish/tomcat to connect to a java-web hosting service(address space)? And is a web-hosting service simply an address space that runs java application code?
