Well, anything can be made RESTfull. Sometimes it requires critical changes in the developers' mindset, letting go old URLs and old ways of doing things. As an example, relational databases were considered absurd at first, the reviewers of the initial paper considered that it only fits a few data structures/types, and that traditional storage methods (structured plain text or binary files) are still the right solution. The same thing happens with REST. People don't know how to apply it, and blame the idea, not their habits. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
