Re: [service-orientated-architecture] RESTful lightbulb

Yes to all your questions.

So what I call operation in this case is PUT <setOff/> or PUT <setOn/>.

You apparently have one operation PUT <any/>. And you solve the problem of what to PUT at runtime.

It's important we clear up what is and isn't an operation, otherwise
we're going to just be spinning our wheels here ...

Let's go back to a known quantity, IDL. Here's a sample document;

interface ThingThatCanBeTurnedOnAndOff {
void setOn();
void setOff();
void getState();
}

I call setOn, setOff, and getState, "operations", and IDL does as
well. Do you (and Steve) agree they are operations?

Moreover, do we agree that this interface can be used to interact with
many different kinds of objects; lightbulbs, TVs, etc..?

Mark.
