You can use a Bean to send and to return values.I use Rest Post to send a String (XML format) and convert it at the other side. I use XStream to convert from JavaBean object to xml String and xml to JavaBean in only one line of code.
My test say that the problem is the JVM memmory only, i return an ArrayList to JavaBean of 2000 records by 49 properties without problem. regards julio Oliveira On Tue, Dec 30, 2008 at 11:15 PM, Benson Margulies <[email protected]>wrote: > I'm not the REST-expert, but I expect that there's some way indeed to > use POST.
