Hi Joshua,
It ain't actual REST (no verbs), but you can even do a very cool thing with
Stripes (using interceptors) : you can easily transform an existing app's
ActionBeans to a fully working RPC backend. You can easily turn
"GUI-oriented" beans into endpoints that return JSON (or XML or whatever
you want), and therefore factor out a lot of code, keep URLs consistent
etc.
For example :
/view/MyStuff/123 -> return HTML
/view/MyStuff/123?isRpc=true -> return JSON
Just using a single additional parameter, you can decide to return JSON or
a regular Resolution. This one is a contrived example, but it actually
works on complex action beans. You use the same code in order to grab the
bean, bind everything, handle validation errors, and call the event
handler... The only bit of code you need to write is the return of an
alternate, "rpc-enabled" Resolution instead of the classical Forward or
Redirect.
Basically opens your app to any program that can send HTTP requests and
understands JSON.
