Completely agree. A lot of Struts developers have started moving to
more Ajax-centric approaches where the server-side is mostly static
html and DWR. I think that Rest provides a more useful and ultimately
flexible solution, especially if you get things like XML and JSON
encoding for free like in this plugin.
I'm one of those developers, so I'm curious to hear, how do you find the
RESTful approach to be more useful and flexible? I'm not saying I
disagree or anything, the fact is I've done the REST approach as well
and have been quite happy with it... in fact, I could argue they are
just different forms of the same underlying concept.. but being one of
those doing the DWR thing now, I'm more and more feeling like it's
really the best answer (the basic idea is I mean, whether DWR is the
best implementation or not might be debatable). I'd love to hear why
you view a REST-based approach as being better, and especially how you
see it as being more flexible.

P.S., I don't want to hijack your thread Don, so if you feel this is a
bit too tangential please do change the subject for any reply you may
make to avoid that.
