Hi Anne,
I'm not using REST for my web services, I just gave the login sample as
an example for zakaria's email about passing parameters to in a REST way.
Thanks

If your intention is to make some type of change to the resource, you should use one of the following non-safe methods: POST, PUT, or DELETE. As Vibhor says, if you want to follow REST constraints, then you should design your resources in such a way that every *thing* that you might want to get from the "service" has a unique URI. You should never need to pass a complex type as input to identify the thing you are trying to get. Your login request is not a "safe" method. In a RESTful system, it would create a resource that represents your session. Therefore you should use POST rather than GET. But why are you doing a login in the application payload? You should use the infrastructure for authentication -- HTTP authentication, SSL authentication, or WS-Security authentication.
