Well then, you've got a problem right there. With a REST based approach, the interface is defined for you. Your job is to identify the resources and define the data formats. Everything else is just the exchange of that data between those resources. > WSDL is VERY simple when you have the right tools, REST might have advantages > over it, but does it really progress the state of the art at all? Absolutely. I used to develop CORBA apps, now I use the Web to develop similar apps. Without a doubt, it's been an improvement. A dramatic one, in fact. Far simpler, more reliable, far more resilient to change (due to the improvement in loose coupling), etc.. > We are arguing over two different forms of ASCII RPC here (eventing aside). No, we aren't.
