Have you seen my Build a REST API in Spark workshop?
I'm working on something very similar in Spring at the moment. It will be using Spring Data REST.
Let me know if that works!
Mi castellano no funciona por nada. ;)

Courses Plus Student 6,497 PointsI researched this answer and found one on community.oracle.com. Not sure if this is what you're looking for:
A cleaner solution is to use a bidirectional client server communication with sockets. So the server can send data to the client without a prior request. However if proxy support is needed sockets are out of the question.
So what you need is a gui in javafx and a thread to handle client-server communication for synchronous and asynchronous events. It is a bit harder to code, but it provides better communication than polling.
