The analogue in the "marry" case would be to PUT a "marriage contract" and POST a link to the two people involved. So are we obliged to model "marriage contract" to make the solution work? In this case it seems that the implementation is driving the modelling, which is not good in my book.   Consider a "transfer" of $100 from Account1 to Account2. Do we have to have the "transfer" as a resource?   Also, this solution implies that PUT and POST are complementary (i.e., in general, you need to use both) rather than alternative (i.e., you choose whether you want to use PUT or POST). Is that the case?   Rgds Ashley __._,_.___ SPONSORED LINKS Computer software Computer aided design software Computer job Soa Service-oriented architecture YAHOO!
