Dan, do you mind giving details on what you have in mind? I quickly hacked-up a .NET based restful service during my lunch time. It has 2 URLs: http:/localhost:8080/do/j_sentence - Execute the given j_sentence and return the string result (result could be xml, json, html, etc). http:/localhost:8080/reset - reset J session for current HTTP session = come-up with a clean slate.
A session is created on the fly when you hit the URL and it's alive as long you keep the browser open. Multiple users (or browsers) could hit same service and each would have their own session. Before sharing the code (after I am done with my day job), I would like to know more what you have in mind. Interesting idea by the way, to have J service. Just that I think we would need more definition. By the way, Do(m)n in my native tongue (which is not Spanish but Latin based) is a very respectful term. It's usually used with Lastname (Firstname). And it's more respectful than Mr. in US - m in there is almost unheard.
