title: Creating Java Restful webservice on Windows Azure
body: <p>we are working on our graduation project project that has two main block </p>
  
  <p>1- A <strong>website</strong> that is written in ASP.NET</p>
  
  <p>2- A <strong>webservice</strong> that access the database (mySQL DB) , do some processing on data and communicate with that website to show the results.</p>
  
  <p>We are using a java library [Apache Mahout] in that webservice to help us do that processing and that's why we need to write this webservice in JAVA</p>
  
  <p>How can we create and host a Restful java webservice on Windows Azure ? What are the available options ? </p>
  
  <p>Also , Is it possible to start the processing and stop it depending on a request that is sent from the website or another block (another webservice for example) ?</p>
  
  <p>I hope the situation is now clear.I would appreciate if you could provide us with any resources that could help us understand how Restful java Webservice in Azure works :)</p>
