This sounds like a very good place to start to be able to expose SCA resources in a REST way, but I think the more interesting and more difficult challenge will be to figure out how to get SCA to consume some of the growing number of REST resources that are being exposed on the net now.
Jean-Sebastien's approach seems to be a step in this direction. -Bert PS: I'm still trudging through the json-rpc port from M1and slowly but surely understanding more bits an pieces of the emails on this list :) On 8/22/06, ant elder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Axis2 also has some built in REST support, and as we already have an Axis2 binding it would be relatively easy to get a Tuscany REST binding going using Axis2. All that you need to do is change the Tuscany code to use the Axis2 REST servlet instead of the SOAP one, and change the code where we set up the Axis2 config to set some flags to enable the REST support. With a bit of refactoring of the existing Axis2 binding and changing a few things from private to protected you could probably get something going by subclassing the existing Axis2 binding with minimal new code. I think we should make a better, more 'RESTful' binding than this in the long run, but this approach would be an easy first start. ...ant On 8/22/06, Oisin Hurley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > REST is a very generic term, and I think it's more like a resource/ > > service > > naming pattern (URL/URI).
