Axis2 provide a framework to make it easy to deploy REST web services. All it does is work of a XML parser and a data binding. The point is Axis2 enable the usual web services that are deployed to be expose as REST web services (yes only if you have no Headers) as well.
we just try to make the Axis2 REST enable so that the people who deploy web services can make the web services accept REST requests as well. It is a experiment. Using Axis2 as a REST Container .. people may do it or not do it. If people choose that doing rest by hand is good enough we can remove it.. but I think people might be intersted about it Cheers Srinath
