Thanks Dan and Benson --- even the tools/code for the SOAP client javascript would be pretty good to use/look at. I know REST requires WSDL 2.0 so I will need to deal with that on my own - the parsing and generation that is. I am sure it is not an easy task but I gotta look into it. I think Axis2 may have some of that functionality in place anyway.
