Subject: Java Frameworks That Support HATEOS

I've been using Jersey (JAX-RS) which really leverages JAXB to serialize your objects into XML and JSON. When I started this project last year, that seemed like a really good idea to me because, like many, my idea of REST was really just JSON and XML over HTTP.

However, I haven't really used it for HATEOS. I think later versions of Jersey support adding URI's, so maybe it's still a sufficient framework and I just haven't been using it that way. What are others using or are people just rolling their own resources?

I use Apache CXF to build my REST services, but building HATEOAS principles into your services doesn't really require any additional technology support.� You can define ad hoc elements that contain pointers to other information, you don't need to define a "link" element in its own namespace (as described in REST in Practice, for instance). Generating a URL is really a trivial thing.� Designing the flow of your application is the bigger task, and neither Jersey or CXF can help you much with that.
