Does anyone have any sample code on how this is done. I'm have written lots of Web Services in .NET but am a newbie to Web Services in Java. I have created a Web Service and deployed it to JRun. How do I go about configuring my web service so that it supports REST ? Any sample code for the client that uses this web service ?
TIA John RESTful web services can exchange SOAP messages (enabling clear separation of infrastructure information from application payload), and therefore it's useful to have a SOAP engine that processes SOAP headers. The Axis message processing pipeline is very useful for this purpose.
