Hmm... it's lacking in some respects, if you want to go purist.
Take this URL from the wiki: http://blablalist.com/createlist? submission=credentials& login=johnsmith& password=password& submission=create& name=Things+I+need+to+do+today That looks like a HTTP GET to me, in which case, it is missing on a key point of REST: the HTTP verbs. Instead, it should have been a POST to this URL (for instance): http://blablalist.com/lists/Things+I+need+to+do+today/ With this XML document in the POST payload: <list> <credentials> <login>johnsmith</login> <password>password</password> </credentials> </list> This is the kind of thing that I thought would be nice if it could be auto generated based on meta data :) Some extra info: http://www.xfront.com/REST-Web-Services.html 2007/2/7, Emmanuel Okyere <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Christian, Have you seen blabla list? this is a link to it's REST API: http://rifers.org/wiki/display/BLA/REST+API You don't have to do anything special to return XML over HTTP; just set your templates to describe the xml structs you want to return with value placeholders for the dynamic bits, just as you would for an xhtml output. Download the blabla code. Should help more.
