Hi!
today I tried to understand the things told in previous posts and draw up a list and a plan of the things to do(hopeful being able to do it...) ...i tried to setup a rails app with web service(on what fun it is to ride ... on rails)... but after some googling to search info about "rails web services" (...) something very good happened to me... this is the first link i found: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-cb08016/ but the most interesting thing is a link that lies on the bottom of the page: http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-restvsoap/ I was a little in dubt about the REST design... but after reading this document my mind became a bit more sure about it's doubts... Are we sure that the rails app that act as workflow engine web service should be written following the REST design pattern? My opinion is that in such an application the aspect of the activity control is central(we are making the engine work). On the other side i'm convinced that wf resources access is at the same way important, because the several aspects that don't concern engine operation control, probably fall into resource access, and so in the REST preferred application field. My idea is that the future WFE-WS should satisfy both this complemental requirements, and to do it should not force the choice of a single design that is very good for one purpose but is quite problematic for the other. I think that it would be better to write it having two ways of interact with clients: the SOAP(or XML-RPC) for the activity control and the REST arch for the resource access. thanks to everyone for reading and thinking about this, waiting for comments and critics... good night Tom --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "OpenWFEru dev" group.
