Hi Thanks for the prompt reply. My current project is a small project which basically acts as a service in a SOA enviornment. I have an ejb that I am planning to expose as a non-soap based web service in a servlet container. But I do not know if this is good strategy to use servlet container just for the sake of web services (I am new to webservices)? But at the same time I do not know the advantages/disadvantages of using restlet in a standalone mode?? Your input and any pointers to examples is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time and interest.
