Hi Kevin, I've used the client-side library within JBoss Resteasy, which is pretty lightweight/low-level. Basically it will generate client-side proxies, cf Axis stubs.
Whether that's RESTful is another matter... purists would probably argue that it's creating a coupling between client and server. The other question to consider is what representations you'll be processing. As you know, the json-viewer I'm working on in Isis uses, erm, Json. The json-applib is a client-side library that runs on top of Resteasy with additional support for processing JSON representations (that conform to the spec I've been defining at http://restfulobjects.org). Can you provide some more detail on what you want to do?
