This is not to say that a nice pure REST interface doesn't have its merits. However, BPEL is naturally limited in its RESTfulness by its intrinsic modeling based on XSD.
I think this is a problem of BPEL itself that's made to fit around the WSDL SOAP-centric model, and the best way to solve it is by extending BPEL to allow invocation on resources. I'm interested in coming up with a short spec to extend BPEL just enough to make it REST friendly. Anyone else interested in something like that? Assaf Sanjiva.
