Flight Availability

This is a REST/JSON Service, built upon Spring-Web. It retrieves flights availability data from an REST/XML Airline Mock Service.

The availability results are first retrieved in XML format, and then converted into a different JSON model.

It implements a server component that receives REST/JSON request with criteria parameters, converts it into a REST/XML request to a mock service and then converts the result into a different JSON response.
