So, there are a few different things at play here. With respect to not needing SOAP, you're right. REST is a departure from SOAP and the existing view of a structured format for the message payload. Data can be exchanged in whatever format you like (raw, XML, JSON, etc.).
Given that, the goal of the JSR is to provide a set of standard Java APIs
that would better support developing RESTful applications than what exists
today. There are ways to pull it off today with some of the standard Java
APIs, but it's cumbersome.
This is certainly a big piece to bite off for a first thing to work on. As
David suggested earlier... it might be best to just start by scratching an
itch and finding a few JIRAs that might seem interesting. Just my two
cents though...

So, as I understood, REST goes in a different way from that we are dealing
with WS today in the sense that we wouldn´t deppend of technologies like
SOAP, and explore Java lower level APIs, is this right?

Wesley,
Here's the page for the JSR. http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=311
As Sanjiva mentioned, the JSR is still in progress so there's potential
for what you see today to be different by the time the spec is complete.
Take a look at the JSR and I guess just start asking questions.
Before diving into that JSR though, I would Google around and become
familiar with the concepts of REST. That will help put some of the JSR
lingo into context. Another thing you could do to get familiar with the
concept is to build a REST service/client using the existing Axis2 APIs.
Please ask away if you have any questions.
Cheers,

Interesting, I know a little bit of the concepts of REST arch, but I´ve
never worked with JSR. If you can tell me where to start I can learn more
about this, and I´ll try to do something in the implementation.

How about implementing JSR-311? That's the new REST annotations
JSR.
Its a new feature, so its relatively easy .. but u'll need the
deployment
architecture etc.. But its a fun project and will be useful when
done (the
JSR is still in progress).
