Will do. I've picked up where Gary left off. It is good starting point, with a good mapping between REST and get/set/mutations. (kudos to Gary) I'll update it to accomodate any changes and see if I can add some tests on top of it.
I may look to add in JAX-RS (on either Jersey or Apache CXF). We use it for all of our REST services, and it may provide a good abstraction layer that we can build on. Give me a couple days. I have to get back into the "ant mentality". I've been doing maven too long. BTW -- Does anyone know if there are plans to move to maven?
