I understand that if you use SUN's Jersey REST implementation framework, you get the ability to use XML and JSON doc's interchangably. I've tried this in a simple REST service and it works just fine, marshalling XML or JSON to Java objects and back again without any problems. My Question is this.....

What is the preferred way to specify an HTTP "Location" Response Header in Spring MVC 3? As far as I can tell, Spring will only provide a "Location" in response to a redirect ("redirect:xyz" or RedirectView), however there are scenarios where a Location should be sent along with the entity body (ex, as a result of a "201 Created"). I'm...

I've recently discovered a way to implement RESTful services using Global.asax (by handling the Application_BeginRequest event). Basically, I am saying it is possible (and easy) to implement a RESTful web service in classic ASP.NET, without any need for WCF. It takes approximately 30 lines of code to figure out which method you want to ...

Is that possible using the...
I'm a little late to the party, but I'm trying to wrap my brain around how REST is supposed to work, both in general and in Ruby on Rails. I've read a bunch of articles online about this already, but still don't feel like I'm getting the big picture.
