I agree, that's how I do it. A GET on /contacts/<id>/changePassword would return a form with the fields to fill in for the command, and a POST executes it. Same thing with exportToSap: a GET would return a form with the possible export options, and a POST performs it (or I would do it using GET actually, since it's a query). This also makes authorization easier, if you want to differentiate who is allowed to perform different operations on the same contact. /Rickard ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2682392
