I want to handle as many platforms as I can (web, shell, desktop) and therefore I have decided to begin with a server/API. I want to write it in Ruby, however i think that Rails is a bit too heavy for this, even though it would do the job. Sinatra also doesn'...
Hello, I am trying to create a REST web service using .NET 4.0 and WCF. My REST service is returning a List which then gets serialized into XML. The problem I am having is that the XML being returned starts with ArrayOf, which I don't like. In other words, right now the XML looks like this: <ArrayOfAchievement> <Achievement> ...
I'm creating a general purpose web service that is likely to have a number of different clients, some of which I cannot anticipate at this time. I already have a nice Java Services API and am looking to provide a web services facade on top of that. There are great arguments on both sides of the SOAP vs REST debate and it leaves me wond...

Hi I have a SQL Server (2008) database that contains address details that i want to make available to search as a rest service.

Hi everyone, I'm having a frustrating time with Spring 3 MVC trying to build RESTful web services. I want RESTful URLs, e.g. "my.domain.com/items", not "my.domain.com/items.do" or anything else that includes an extension. My web.xml includes the following. Note the URL pattern: <servlet> <servlet-name>addictedWebServices</servlet...
I'm in need of some clarification. I've been reading about REST, and building RESTful applications. According to wikipedia, REST itself is defined to be Representational State Transfer. I therefore don't understand all this stateless gobbledeygook that everyone keeps spewing. From wikipedia: At any particular time, a client can either ...
I'm implementing a web API using the REST for ASP.NET MVC framework (MVC 2). I want to encapsulate this code, ideally in an ActionFilterAttribute (?), so that I can decorate specific actions that always perform this same logic: if (!ModelState.IsValid) { return View( new GenericResultModel(){ HasError=True, ErrorMessage="Model is ...
A URL supposedly locates (and not simply identifies) a resource; a corollary is that the same URL must refer to the same resource. However, this rule would appear to be violated in the case of URLs like http://api.local/orders/333, in which api.local does not resolve to a host for everyone, and may not even resolve to the same host in t...
I want to create a REST service that can return either JSON or XML. What request parameter do I set in the request to request a certain mime type?

I am trying to implement the authlogic_api plug-in for the Authlogic gem, which uses an api_key/signature mechanism to restrict access. I have implemented the ApplicationSession and ApplicationAccount m...
Hello, I'm new to rails and having trouble figuring out how to do this RESTfully. I have a route set as map.resources :products and what I want to do is have some way to filter the results returned from the index action. For example, you go to /products which calls the index action per the resources default, then on that page there is a...
I appreciate this is an incredibly noob question, but having Googled multiple combinations of search terms I regretfully am still in the dark. These things can be difficult when one doesn't know and so obvious when one does. I have semi-home page where incoming customers can choose to see a queried list or do a handful of other things. ...
OK so I have a few operations for my REST Web Service. There is some overlap of entities between the different operations but based on what I'm doing some of the elements/attributes are not relevant. Eg. When I request rates I need to get back: <Property id=””> <Rooms> <Room> <Rates> <Rate></Rate> </Rates> ...
