REST is a more general architectural concept... what does it have to
do with this? In other words, I'm not quite sure what you mean by
"REST along with other ways".

As BJ suggested in http://www.xfront.com/REST-Web-Services.html you
can create Web services in REST spirit. I know this have some
limitations (regarding object types arguments) but don't you think
it's a best practice to use this type of Web services before
thinking about using SOAP when you are in an heterogeneous
environment (ie not only Java using RMI) ?

How would we implement a REST type web service interface?
Using an HTTP service (ie using <ofbiz-ser> and XmlSerializer for arguments). In my mind REST type web service and HTTP service are
the same, am'I wrong ?
The idea is to avoid the SOAP overhead when it's not mandatory. At the beginning I Googled for "rest vs soap" from which the
question.
