Hi,
Thanks for answering!
The REST/JAXRS paradigm offers a basic controller mechanism, and I can return
text/html (and other media types) as well as forward to JSP pages.
I've always disliked struts and JSF and am trying to push JAXRS to the limits -
hence my question :-)
Try this then:

Subject: REST and MVC for webapps
Hi,
I am looking for examples and/or information on using CXF/REST/JAXRS as
the controller for html webapps - instead of Struts or JSF.
Any pointers available?
Just a high-level comment on the approach:
If you're building a "conventional" web site where you move from page to page, a REST
service would likely only represent a portion of your application. You'd still want to have a
"conventional" web framework like Spring MVC, Struts, or JSF (which provides some
additional paradigms).
If, however, you're building a "single-page web application" where server
communication is primarily done through AJAX calls from a Javascript framework like Dojo
or others, then a REST service might become more prominent.
The point is that a REST service handles a certain kind of interaction pattern,
and page to page navigation doesn't quite fit that.
