How does it differ from non-micro services?
As to services in web2py, I consider that to be implemented by controllers that use SOAP or JSON or similar service attributes (in web2py, usually by means of decorators on the controller declaration). You can either view a service to be the one URL, or a package of related URLs done in a similar manner. Some of these controllers will be just a few lines of code, some will be more extensive (IIRC, I have one that runs about 30 lines). You could make separate applications for each controller, but if they share some commonality it may be nicer to group them together in one app. My thoughts, worth what you paid for them. /dps -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
