I implemented a REST web service for administering account information. I was using a Tomcat server stand-alone. I just installed mod_jk to hook it in with...
... I suggest doing a google search. mod_jk is a servlet interface extension, so I don't know what it supports (and unfortunately I have no time to check ...
Hi, I've been studying the Restlet classes and interfaces. You guys have done a great job! I have one question: The methods that define a Connector are those...
Hi Peter, Thanks for the feed-back. Indeed those methods are common to both Component and Connector interfaces. However, following the REST dissertation, a...
Hi, I am starting the process of developing RESTful services, but I am getting hung up on the definition of which namespace to apply to the concept of a...
... What you want to ask yourself is "what will my client apps do with this data?". Do they need to know the names ("Widget A", "Widget B") associated with...

Hi, I would like to track back to its origin the idea to use a shared 'intent semantic' between client and server along with a pure data submission semantic...
http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2006/02/23/using-rest-with-ajax.html I've got another (more interesting) one in the works about RESTfully using cookies for...
... I've read it on Friday, via a link from ajaxian.com. I had been researching the same thing and I'm 95% finished with my article... I guess you can't always...
... Thanks for the great article. This is the first concrete example I have found anywhere of a non-trivial REST system. Everything else I have seen seems to...
Hi Nic! Enjoyed your article. One comment, Safari's XHR implementation is a little bit broken, PUT and DELETE requests are silently converted to GETs. Cheers ...
... I am incredulous??! Is this really so? Is there some config option somewhere that is forcing this bizarre behaviour? Isn't Safari based on Konqueror? or is...
... +1, it seems so incredibly broken for that to be the default behavior -- I don't think most REST apps would even work in Safari if it were mapping PUT to...
Hi Mark, this is a comment onthe section "Form" and "method" of http://www.markbaker.ca/2003/05/RDF-Forms/ You present the RDF below as an alternative to the...

So, I have a couple of questions. I work on middleware at IBM. Suppose I used REST as my protocol for accessing data stored in a database. On the surface,...
... This isn't really nitpicking, honest: REST is an architectural style. HTTP is an application protocol. Good HTTP apps are usually RESTful. Most of your...
... Simply build an API that supports that. There's no reason why you can't POST multiple datums at once. But you don't have to do that, see below. ... Build a...

... well use SOAP, no? It's your application design choice as to whether 'record keys' are the same as 'resource identifiers' - a resource might encompass more...
... I think that the primary cause of your confusion is trying to map CRUD to PGPD (Post, Get, Put, Delete). This is not necessarily so; POST can create,...
... There isn't normally much caching with POST. I can't see why the above stops you doing security. ... Absolutely. It's also just easier to do. Making a SOAP...
Hi, ... Maybe you can think of client A is trying to interact with a record retrieval service. That service is a resource, thus it has a URL address. When...
