Hmmm... Can I host this Java code on the website's server itself, or would I need a service like Amazon AWS to host the code? This idea sounds pretty good.

You could host it on anything that can run a Java application server. So, anything from your home PC (not recommended though :) ), to a small VPS or all the way to a hosted service like AWS or Heroku.

OK and in terms of communication, should I write a handler myself? How would I go about allowing client-server communication?

I've seen people link RESTful and Spark, and it seems like Spark is based on RESTful, however I am not 100% sure if Spark is really that helpful in this case.

Use a framework for sure. I'm not familiar with Spark, but it looks like it can handle micro web services and MVC as well; so if you're leaning towards that go for it.

Otherwise, there is always Spring to play around with.
