Thankyou Thierry,
Wow, this is all so flexible. I'm very excited about the way this is going!
One question though - I seem to be getting the TunnelService mechanism 'for
free'. How come?
Cheers,
Marcus.
(I will read the AJAX related pages properly when I come to my interface - I
can see how this is all fitting together now)

Hello Marcus,
about point #1 have a look at this article [1] and the javadocs of the
TunnelService [2], especially the parameter "method" which is used in
the query string of URIs :
<form action="http://kjhkjhkh/klkjlkjl?method=put"; method="post">
best regards,
Thierry

Hi All,
Thankyou for the emails that I received with helpful webpages (Serge
especially). My prototype (see parent post) is now working, and each
resource is simply returning a static XML document containing parameters
passed through in the URI.
I now have moved forwards and have a few more questions. I would like to
be
able to properly handle all the CRUD operations based on the HTTP verb
coming in. I will override the allow*() methods to return true; I will
also
override and implement the handle*() methods too (do i need to call
super in
these?)
Questions:
1) How can I submit PUT and DELETE HTTP requests to my URIs, to test
that my
various handler methods are working? Obviously GET and POST ones can be
issued by knocking up a simple form...
2) When I eventually issue PUT and POST requests, how do I pass in data
to
create and update (respectively) the resources?
3) After getting all the verb methods firing off for the various
resources,
I'll be wanting to properly persist and return real data from a
database. I
noticed that there is a JDBC connector, that you can pass in SQL
embedded in
XML format. Is this the proper way to do this (to keep inline with the
framework) or would it be better to establish my own JDBC connection and
get/modify/update/delete the data directly myself.
...Getting there...
Thanks,
Marcus.
