How does Services module work with Multi-platform use?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

We have two web applications in Java and one community in Drupal.
We have developed one Web App which centrally provides user interface to all three.
Web app is in Java. So it’s easily consuming web services of two java applications.
Now question about Drupal; How to integrate Drupal with Web app?

Does Drupal Services module provide following services?

-User can create content in Drupal community using Web app.
-User can share contents in Community Groups as well as email node url to friends using Web app.
-User can upload content in Drupal using Web app.

Please share your experience.
Is it easily doable using services module?
Is there any thing else(modules) we may need?

Services is the module you

Services is the module you want.

Out of the box the answers are:

  1. Yes - there's a node resource for this
  2. Might be possible
  3. Yes - this is possible

Please note that it might often be favorable, if you create anything but a basic system, to create your own resources instead of using the one that comes with Services as they are very generic and only there to replicate the basic functionality of Drupal core. If any Drupal core function is missing from Services though - please file a feature request about it so we can add it.

You should also look at the different servers and authentication systems available. I like the REST Server paired with Services OAuth - but you perhaps like something else. I imagine that .NET-guys would prefer the SOAP-server for example.

My concern is ‘services’
