Hi there,
I'm wondering about these 3 issues. Would love to know what other folks think about it
1) the easiest way to approach/demonstrate REST.
Assuming someone has built a few webapps using
java. Say, this developer/manager has worked with
servlets and JSPs (and possibly
Struts), what is the easiest way to get this developer to starting
using REST architecture ?
2) Intranet apps and rest :
There are a lot more intranet apps than internet apps. Are there any differences in the way
REST can be used/implemented in intranet apps ? Many of the intranet/extranet apps use highly specific "TYPE" content
in the information that is exchanged.
3) java/j2ee frameworks that help in the REST way of life.
In 2007, atleast half of the
J2EE world is either using one of the web frameworks (like Struts(2), Webwork, Spring, Wicket, etc)
to build webapps. Is there an easy way to bolt REST on top of these frameworks ? I know that Rails is putting a lot of emphasis
on REST. What is the direction from the java/j2ee frameworks ?
Thank you,
BR,
