Hi, first hello to Restlet team, i know some of you guys.
My question is for you and everybody else implied in practicing REST and remoting in general. A first provider catalogs information on a domain being a reference for others; for instance, all information on the partners involved in your business. The second provider handles data referencing partners, let's simply take the parameters for the partners for a given business process. I'd like to implement full-text search for those parameters: find parameter values based on either example parameters values or example partner labels. With tables in SQL world, I can "join" the tables and specify criterias on both (perhaps it's not a good practice by the way). How do you handle this with remoting and resource oriented services ? For this kind of use case, "algorithmic join" of XML/other representations retrieved on the fly can seem unnecesseraly complicated, so people often replicate reference data, in order to typically to make this stuff with "locally stored" index information. What do you think of a "on the fly" scenario by the way ? Or perhaps this full-text multi-source search idea is not a good one ? thanks for your point of view.
