REST Principles
In addition to some familiarity with J2SE and J2EE-related APIs, basic familiarity with REST principles is a prerrequisite for properly understanding the framework. Fortunately, there are excelent resources in the web to do this, like the following ones:
- http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arch_style.htm - This is the initial proposal for REST, by Roy Fielding.
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST - A very useful and informative Wikipedia article, with some additional references.
- http://www.xfront.com/REST-Web-Services.html
- http://webservices.xml.com/pub/a/ws/2002/02/20/rest.html
REST principles and phylosophy are very simple ( in fact, it's power results directly from simplicity ), so if you haven't had the oportunity to be exposed to it until now, the above links provide a perfect introductory material to the documentation of the Cetia4 REST Framework.
