I've been experimenting with the eXist.org DB that lets you GET and PUT (and version) hierarchical records (XML) RESTfully to & from the browser without any intervening layer (unlike PHP etc). It works well for my non EHR web-app - that uses jQuery to tame my in-browser code. It probably not industrial-strength but the eXist way has plenty of standards based ways of getting things done - including xQuery pipelines incorporating user specified Java modules. could be something to consider. BTW I doubt there's much usage for HTTP DELETE for audited EHR. Gavin Brelstaff
