When the "verbs" of REST work it is a good approach. This is common in the case of transferring state. For other types of operations (verbs), such as activity-oriented processes, it is inadequate and the operation needs to be in the data being sent. Regardless of what protocol is used, the information for the data and the operations need to be specified. If the REST "verbs" are sufficient, that is great.
