I started out looking at the JAX-RS plugin for grails and thought that was the way to go mainly because it was based on JSR-311 and I figure following standards is usually the smart thing to do. However, using Grail's UrlMappings it seems I basically achieve the same thing. I figure I'm missing something, however, we aren't doing anyth...

Imagine I am building a a carpooling web service. Suppose the following GET /api/persons/angela/location retrieves t...
Hi, I'm doing a project to test Scala and Lift at my company, atm I'm implementing a REST API that shoves XML around.

I have to deploy a webapp on Tomcat 6.0.24, serving some webservices that should be accessed with REST-style methods (not fully REST, since the used flex class HTTPService can just send GET and POST).

I am currently using Jersey Framework (JAX-RS implementation) for building RESTful Web Services. The Resource classes in the project have implemented the standard HTTP operations - GET,POST & DELETE.

Is it possible to override a RESTful path? For instance, I have photo_path(photo) which would generate /photos/12345 But I'd like for all uses of photo_path to actually generate URL's like /photos/joeschmoe/12345 (which is the photo's user and the photo id). Obviously I could just create a new route, but wanted to make sure there wasn...

In the past, I've written a loop to pump large streams out us...
