I wanted to create a Java web app with electronJS front-end. Electron would technically communicate with the Java server for loading data. The Server would be responsible for managing users and sending data stored on a database to electron.

I read about web apps that are made with java and the many servers (glasfish, tomcat, etc.) I do not really know if it's needed for my project.

My idea was to create the back-end in Java and host it on a machine that is 24h online. I don't really understand the point of Tomcat etc.

Thank you for your help (:

    how are you planning to access java back-end code, I mean by exposing some API(built in Java) right? – MOnkey Feb 24 '20 at 14:55
  • @MOnkey I read about RESTful applications, it would be a possibility to use it. The idea was to use electron just like a website that communicates with the server. – Mateusz Dettlaff Feb 24 '20 at 15:00

    if you do not need performance you can go without server as mentioned above but If you need performance (lot of simultaneous request), you will need a container (e.g. Tomcat, etc). – MOnkey Feb 24 '20 at 15:14
