I am trying to make a decision whether I should use a REST service or a SOAP service for some web facing functions that I am producing. This decision is based on whether I can easily use the REST service in implementation. I would prefer to use REST, though I don't want to spend days coding the object model in PHP. The services are bein...

I've been toying with the SimplyRestfulRouting assembly that comes with the MvcContrib extras, and for the most part I really like that it quickly sets up my routes and leaves me with a good convention to follow in my controllers. However, I'm still trying to wrap my head around REST as it applies to rich internet applications and occas...

I'm trying to connect to a RESTful web service, but I'm having some troubles, especially when sending data over PUT and DELETE. With cURL, PUT requires a file to send, and DELETE is just weird.

I'm writing a specification for a RESTful API for a new internal web service. It's not hugely long and fairly simple, but even so, it's my first time using strict REST (as opposed to cheating for practical reasons - avoiding PUT and DELETE because they're a pain in PHP, and so on). I was wondering if there were any standard methods or be...
Hello, I'm currently writing a REST service using CakePHP and I was wondering how can I send an array of item_ids through REST to an action. class ItemsController extends AppController { var $components = array('RequestHandler'); var $helpers = array('Text', 'Xml'); function index() { } function create($itemsArr) { //handle...
I was reading Simply Rails by Patrick Lenz... maybe I missed something, it seems that whenever we put map.resources :stories in routes.rb then immediately, the controller will have special convention and now Story is a RESTful resource? Maybe the author used the word resource but didn't mention that it is RESTful but they are the sa...
It seems that when we use form_for @story do |f| then Story has to be a RESTful resource and it has to be map.resources :stories in the routes.rb. Can Story be not RESTful? Can it be a form for non-RESTful data? ...

I went to Jim Webber presentation and in the middle of his apresentation he stated that ATOM is a good replace for JMS in many cases. Since JMS is a messaging service, I'm curious about that. Are you guys using ATOM as a messaging service? Is it reliable and scalable? The greatest advantage of JMS is that it uses the push method (the se...

I'm putting together PUT/DELETE links, a la Rails, which when clicked create a POST form with an hidden input labelled _method that sends the intended request type. I want to make it DRYer, but my jQuery knowledge isn't up to it. HTML: <a href="/articles/1" class="delete">Destroy Article 1</a> <a href="/articles/1/publish" class="put">...
