Hi Dan, I went through several several REST api tutorials. The first thing I understood is that REST is almost similar to HTTP (Isn't it?).
In sample application I had some experiences with restful object viewer. I'm really impressed the way it provide all data through JSON. However as always I have several problems. 1. At the very beginning I went to the url - http://localhost:8080/restful/ It gave following output. { links: [ { rel: "self", href: "http://localhost:8080/restful/";, method: "GET", type: "application/json;profile="urn:org.restfulobjects/homepage"" }, { rel: "user", href: "http://localhost:8080/restful/user";, method: "GET", type: "application/json;profile="urn:org.restfulobjects/user"" }, { rel: "services", href: "http://localhost:8080/restful/services";, method: "GET", type: "application/json;profile="urn:org.restfulobjects/list"" }, { rel: "version", href: "http://localhost:8080/restful/version";, method: "GET", type: "application/json;profile="urn:org.restfulobjects/version"" }, { rel: "types", href: "http://localhost:8080/restful/domainTypes";, method: "GET", type: "application/json;profile="urn:org.restfulobjects/typelist"" } ], extensions: { } } I'm completely ok with the content of the output. But the thing I need to clarify is from where did this json object come from. And can we change the content of this output. (As an example: can we remove domainTypes link from this JSON object?). If so how? 2. I consist of a link - "http://localhost:8080/restful/domainTypes"; but all we need is "http://localhost:8080/restful/services"; because at gui level we interact with those Services (am I correct?) not with those domainTypes. If so what is the use of domain types to gui level? 3. If I speak straight, is the purpose of project to map these json objects details to android gui?
