Michael, that seems to be based on a misunderstanding - REST does not suggest you expose your persistent entities instead of the business logic. This is like saying object orientation does not support business logic because it exposes database records.I agree with Paul.If we can find how much money business makes on its processes and services vs. how much it makes on its resource utilization, we will get the picture of the role of ROA in SOA. My uneducated guess is that portion in profit coming from just resource utilization (business data) is far from 100%. That is, the rest of SOA does not need to use REST. Let's be realistic/pragmatic in IT instead of religious.
REST is not CRUD on entities. Stefan -- Stefan Tilkov, http://www.innoq.com/blog/st/
