First, to answer Alim's question: there are no plans for the Model-Glue team to add REST support in upcoming releases.
I agree with Brian that using a separate REST framework is the way to go. I haven't had the need to do REST, but the two most promising REST frameworks for CF I've seen so far are PowerNap and Taffy. In my opinion, a front controller that tries to support both MVC and REST is likely to do a poor job of one or the other (or both), because MVC and REST have very different ways of looking at requests: MVC request = Event name + context data REST request = Verb + resource URI + request options + input data I was going to go into detail about this but when I got half-way through I realized that nobody actually asked for that, so I've decided to spare you all :-). -- Dennis On Sat, Sep 11, 2010 at 10:42 AM, Brian G <[email protected]> wrote: > > Alim, > > It's not part of MG specifically, but you can put something like > PowerNap over the top of your service layer (http:// > powernap.riaforge.org) to expose your existing model as a REST > service. > > > Brian > > > On Sep 7, 7:16 am, Alim <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi, > > In the last couple of years, REST has emerged as a compelling > > alternative to SOAP/WSDL/WS* based distributed architectures.
