JSF become RESTful

[Yosi Pramajaya]

How can I make my JSF projects become RESTful?
What code should be used? Help me please.
Thank you.

REST is an architecture for web services; what's the connection to JSF (which is used for GUI web apps, not web services) ?

[Yosi Pramajaya]

Oops, sorry about that.
I don't know anything about it, I just hears some rumors about it.

Thanks for the explanation, Ulf.

REST is pretty much the polar opposite of JSF.

In REST, a single GET URL does all the work in a one-shot cycle. In JSF, the work is done in a series of form postbacks.

REST typically has much less overhead, especially since it often maintains little or no server state, but its very simplicity also limits what it can do.

But if you read Core JavaServer Faces, by David Geary and Cay Horstmann, from Prentice Hall,
I read that JSF 2.0 Navigation can be RESTful, so that's confusing for me.

JSF can be integrated with spring (REST webservices APIs to be included) to make it RESTful. There is a step by step tutorial in the IBM website about using the REST webservice along with spring and JSF. You can check the same for more information.

So it can be integrated.
Can I know the address of the web you advised?

After I done learning JSF,
integrating with Spring, I'll do.

Thanks
