Async REST web services calls

[Daniel Zwolenski]

And another alternative:

http://www.zenjava.com/2012/12/04/javafx-with-a-springmvc-rest-server-in-5-minutes/

This is both client and server but the client bit should work with any rest server. 

Threading model from here would apply too:

(not a rest example but same deal)

Add security with something like this:

If you have a pure java client and a pure java server I'd highly recommend spring remoting (with httpinvoker) over Rest. You only really need/want rest if you are targeting cross-language clients and the programming model is then messier as a result.
