Hi Dan,

I might have a problem that needs the inverse - there is an external 
(Joomla) application that can expose objects (that would map onto Isis 
domain objects) via a REST interface[1] - represented as either JSON 
or XML.

How can I use that REST interface to read (from) and update (to) the 
external app?

Basically, for certain domain objects (the "user" object), the "read" and 
"write" must be achieved via REST while for all other domain objects 
the default object store would be used, I guess.

Does this make sense? Is this possible?

It would even be acceptable if I could only access the external REST 
interface via an Isis service that internally calls the external 
application...

Regards,
Kevin
