Hi I'm not sure what a generic HATEOAS framework can do. The number of possibilities is unlimited: - have custom links, relative or absolute ones - as attributes or child nodes - have Atom feeds/entries with atom:links - have HTTP Link headers - return WADL describing the resource tree
I'm not sure it is really generalizable. I think though you can have done all of the above with CXF. Simplifying dealing with links and generating them is interesting. Capturing links in UI tools (modelling tools, EMF, UML, etec, etc) is interesting thanks, Sergey On Thu, Apr 28, 2011 at 9:47 PM, Ivan Vitoria Sanchez <[email protected]> wrote: > I agree with David.
