State Transfer) with Web services. Axis2 implements the most defined HTTP

<li>When REST Web services are accessed via GET, the service and the
operations are identified based on the URL. The parameters are assumed as
parameters of the Web service. In this case, the GET based REST Web
services support only simple types as arguments and it should adhere to
