Seriously, before you do anything, read the book "Restful WebServices" by Sam Ruby and Leonard Richardson (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/9780596529260/). I'd do it the ROA way (and have for some time; resource oriented architecture), but I do understand it puts certain strain on the areas of the brain responsible for learning conceptually new things.
This is excellent advice IMHO -- thinking in terms of resources instead of verbs is a huge leap forward to web applications that are *in* the web rather than *on* the web. The funny thing about Resource Oriented Architecture (aka REST) is that from a distance it may appear to be yet-another-new-thing-to-learn; but if you've been building web applications as long as Eric has, spending an hour into understanding REST will probably turn out to be more of a déjà vu epiphany experience than anything. //Ed
