In making a restful ASP.NET MVC app I'm wondering about the best way to structure the projects in my solution. By convention, the controllers reside in the same project as the views. However, if I have a few different presentation tiers accessing my restful controllers, would it be better to put my controllers in a layer (project) lower ...
Using WCF Web Programming model one can specify an operation contract like so ... [OperationContract] [WebGet(ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, UriTemplate = "SomeRequest?qs1={qs1}&qs2={qs2}")] XElement SomeRequest1(string qs1, string qs2); Now if we had to make a contract that acce...
In my knowledge, the RESTful WCF still has ".svc" in its URL. For example, if the service interface is like [OperationContract] [WebGet(UriTemplate = "/Value/{value}")] string GetDataStr(string value); The access URI is like "http://machinename/Service.svc/Value/2". In my understanding, part of REST advantage is that it can hide the ...

I have a fairly standard rails app and would like to be able to access the basic CRUD (Create, Update, Delete) operations as well as queries I have added, from an iPhone app. Rails provides the REST API for these operations more or less out of the box.

I have already read the posts link text and link text but these are covering the use case of building a REST service on the server and requiring a rapid client in order to test those services. We have the opposite problem, we are building a web client that will communicate to the server via REST, but the decision has been taken to let t...
I'm in the design stage for an app which will utilize a REST web service and sort of have a dilemma in as far as using asynchronous vs synchronous vs threading. Here's the scenario. Say you have three options to drill down into, each one having its own REST-based resource. I can either lazily load each one with a synchronous request, bu...
Hi, I'm using python and I need to map locations like "Bloomington, IN" to GPS coordinates so I can measure distances between them. What Geocoding libraries/APIs do you recommend? Solutions in other languages are also welcome. Best, Bruno ...
I'm looking into a restful design and would like to use the HTTP methods (POST, GET, ...) and HTTP headers as much as possible. I already found out that the HTTP methods PUT and DELETE are not supported from the browser. Now I'm looking to get different representations of the same resource and would like to do this by changing the Accep...

Hello, What's the best way retrieve complex queries from a REST service? Suppose I want to get X collections, apply filters and equations to each one, combine the collections using some other operation and return one result, everything in one request. It is just too complex (and big) to put everything in the querystring since I could ...
I am looking to optimize a process that runs continually and makes frequent calls (> 1 per second on average) to an external API via a simple REST style HTTP post. One thing I've noticed is that currently, the HttpUrlConnection is created and closed for every API call, as per the following structure (non essential code and error handlin...
Hi, I have a WCF RESTFul service declared thus: [ServiceContract] public interface IGasPriceService { [OperationContract] [WebGet (ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml, BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, UriTemplate = "/GetGasPrice/For/ZipCode/{zipCode}" )] GasPriceData GetPriceData(stri...
