Hi Jason, thanks for your replay. Actually I trying to analyze the possibility to develop a application in java that use server to server rest API. I want to develop this application in the month dec 2008-jan 2009. Since the server to server rest api is currently not supported I was analyzing the possibility of using the available java script api and somehow make act like server to server api; by using the some java script engine like Rhino.
Is it possible to use the java script api in above mentioned way? Do you have a tentative date for the release of the rest based server to server api? regards: Praful Bhatnagar On Dec 2, 12:48 am, Jason <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > HiPraful.
