Spring WebMVC / Jetty example

This is a small Java project initially developed for a class on distributed Java (mostly Java EE and Spring).

The code consists of both a client and a webapp that provides a trivial calculation capability to illustrate using Spring WebMVC. There's also a useful EmbeddedServer class that allows the webapp to be run as a standalone Java application (content based on this tutorial). The project can also be built as a WAR using Maven.

Finally, there's a sample of using Google's Places API with Spring WebMVC providing the client functionality and Jackson doing conversion of the JSON result to a graph of Java objects.
