Hi Wesley,
One note here. Never ask what REST is and try to compare that with WS or
SOAP in particular. 100 people will come up with 100 different ideas
about it. Pure REST is still in the philosophical stage and everyone
thinks on their own. Anyway I have no intention to get in to the REST war.
If you are getting in to a new field and trying to understand new
domain, it will be bit harder for you to understand what it means. So
try to follow some guidelines Nick and Sanjiva proposed, like reading
the JSR and also googling. I hope you will find articles on Axis2 + Rest
+ WSDL 2.0 at least.
Another way to help us is, read our docs and see what is missing, what
is complex and what is still not working. All the devs here have seen
those docs thousand times or do not bother to look at them coz all of
these people here total geeks. So we really want different and fresh
perspectives on our code.
Perhaps you can start answering vast amount of questions in axis-user
list. Since you are a CS student, you have a better knowledge reading
code than some of the users. You can help answering those people.
Look at our JIRA, you might see some low hanging issues which you can
fix easily. Especially if there are issues with test cases, run them,
identify the problem and debug to see where the problem is and try to
fix it.
Those methods are how you can help us and also will earn you the way to
get the prestigious committership in Apache Web services project which
will come handy on your CV.
Good luck.

I thought this.
I agree that is a good initiative, make the WS development free of
underlying technologies, but this means changing the model that we work
(and think) today, is there any "plan" to make this popular? That is,
how to make developers adopt RESTful model?

You are correct in saying that REST web services are a departure
from the SOAP-centric web services that the Apache Axis architecture
is built to support. What exactly do you mean by lower-level APIs in
place of SOAP though? Do you mean to say that since REST request
data is sent in pure XML that we can use well-known existing XML
technologies like STAX, SAX, and DOM? Or, are you referring to
something else?

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,
-Nick

Re: Axis2 architecture documentation
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.
Wesley.

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).
