Hi folks, I'm implementing an API using Django. One 1 service should be able to access 1 API url. I am wondering if there are any popular security practices that go beyond using username/password and SSL? Is using sequential signature generation a popular practice? ...
Hi, I am developing my first Seam + Android application and I am facing some new scenarios as expected. Now specifically for this app, I decided not to keep any state because probably 80% to 90% of the server calls on the REST service will be specifically to do a simple synchronization and the client is gone for a while, so there is(p...

I want a persistent job scheduler. If I were to write my own job scheduler, it would probably be a restful service with one method: POST /path/to/service HTTP/1.1 Host: myservice.com Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded url=someurl&millis=1000 And the service would hit the given url (method GET) after at least 1000 millisec...

Hash.to_xml and other such Railsisms may result in element orderings being different in the output of a REST service. XML Elems are order sensitive, so this would not be a problem for JSON or XML attributes. What aspect of service definition best practices is this breaking that makes me think it is a smell ?? ...
