Hosting for a Java application: help me figure it out
I wrote a simple Java server on sockets. I run it in Eclipse - everything is fine, works, interacts with the client.
Now I want to host a server on a hosting service, I chose a free one as a platform http://www.openshift.com, but I am completely unfamiliar with the technology of deploying a java application on an external hosting. I read the articles, they are mainly about web applications. I just have a program that listens to one port, accepts sockets, and gives it away. Please help me to deal with this difficult topic, maybe you can recommend reading something?
And then I look: Jboss, Tomcat... Is this even on my topic?
