Best practice to build an API service receive and response XML using Java

Question

I'm developing an API using Java.

The requirement is receive request and response in XML format.

I don't have much experiences about this before.

So I want to ask a best practice to build this system.

Would you please help me?

You can go with Restful Frameworks:

Following is the comparison of above frameworks:

Out of 4 above the most popular are:

Lets have a look at both on following link

But on the other hand people also recommend to use SPRING MVC if we are already familiar with Spring as it has full support for REST.

Following are the two very helpful articles on SPRING MVC VS JERSEY

Moreover, we can integrate Spring and JERSEY together as well

Some more information:

Jersey:

Pros: Standard API (JAX-RS) Cons: MVC support is less richer than Spring MVC. Spring:

Pros: Many features, many documents, active community. Cons: Many rules to learn.

I found some articles about Spring and Play ( http://vschart.com/compare/play-framework/vs/spring-framework , http://www.quora.com/Play-Framework-versus-Spring-MVC-how-to-decide-what-to-use ). So should I choose Play ? – Samuel Nov 20 '14 at 10:07
I never used play so i cant say anything about it! I have used Spring alot and it is very powerful. – Ramzan Zafar Nov 20 '14 at 10:12
So the best way you suggest is SPRING MVC ? – Samuel Nov 20 '14 at 10:23
Yes! for me SPRING MVC is the best if you are already familiar with SPRING. – Ramzan Zafar Nov 20 '14 at 10:25
Thank you so much. I'll start with Spring MVC. Sorry but would you please give me any tutorial to build a Restful application using Spring MVC? – Samuel Nov 20 '14 at 10:28
