Tiivistelmä
The aim of this Master's thesis was to build a web server providing an Rest API endpoint which could be used to develop platform independent applications displaying online advertisement content for mobiles and tablets. Reducing wastage of paper, minimizing the cost of advertisement, improving the accessibility of the best discount offer for the end user/customer and maintaining the statistical data of online advertisements are some of the practical problems discussed in this thesis.
To achieve that aim it was decided to develop a web service using J2EE with a Java programming language. A tomcat servlet container was used as the web server and MySQL database for storing the information. The advertisements information obtained from shop website as RSS content are polled, parsed and saved in database. This information is available for the application developer as Rest API endpoints pertaining to every shop categorized based on city.
Although this project was an internal work during the Master's thesis project, the online advertisement concept still carries a significant potential for future upgrading and a wide utilization in the mobile market. The application and the thesis concept if realized will have overwhelming response from the shop and the end users.
