With REST, the application interface is uniform (I wonder how many times this **fact** has to be repeated to make it's way through)? All objects have THE SAME interface (the same set of methods) there are no others. Nothing that needs to be published. For the HTTP case: The HTTP specs is where the interface is specified. There are no other operations or invocations or whatever you call it. If you need to get stuff done, you do it by manipulating object state, not by calling methods. Honestly, why is this so hard to get across? Jan
