Developing challenge Response server in Java

I'm going to create a Java based server that will receive authentication requests and produce challenges. Later on, requests will come in with response to the challenges.

The interacting client is another server. There will be a moderately high transaction pressure from the clients.

My idea is to use a Tomcat-server with a REST interface for both request types.

Also I would like to create some type of inqueue to both keep track of the transaction pressure over time (number of ongoing transactions at a certain time) as well as to be able to set maximum number allowed to handle the QoS. Are there any existing opensource solutions to queue handling?

Does Spring have anythingt useable API?

If you dont state purpose of your server it does not sound reasonable.
there is no standard "challenge response" server.

Thanks alot.

The purpose with the solution is to confirm that no-one has tampered with different kinds of payment requests and similair. The system will send out a verification code to the mobile phone of the subject. Later on the subject will send in the response to the challenge through the web.

I have earlier used plain servlets many times. What would the benefit be by using REST? What would the difference be from using a plain servet?
