planner/watcher web service?

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

Hello, I am calling this sub to start watcher. It seems if the network drive went down and came back, watcher is not checking the file anymore. What is the secure way to stop it and call this sub to start it again. Thanks, Jim. Private Sub WatchFileSystem(ByVal fPath As String, ByVal fName As String)

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
