  • RESTful Web services and their Ajax-based clients by Shailesh K. Mishra   - [Clicks: 15]
    A RESTful Web service is a Web service built using the REpresentational State Transfer (REST) architectural style. This article demonstrates one way to write RESTful Web services, using a simple proxy servlet and their Asynchronous XML + JavaScript (Ajax)-based clients.

  • Enable REST with Web services, Part 1: REST and Web services in WSDL 2.0 by Eran Chinthaka   - [Clicks: 30]
    For clients to interact with remotely hosted resources, REpresentational State Transfer (REST) is fast becoming an alternative for Web services, especially because REST doesn't require users to understand and use SOAP. There are ongoing debates as to which one is better suited in today's highly interactive environment. However, recent efforts, including Web Services Description Language (WSDL) 2.0, have tried to give Web services the ability to benefit from REST and use REST concepts. The HTTP binding specification, available in WSDL 2.0 adjuncts, talks a lot about this. The first part of this article focuses on how REST is married to Web services in WSDL 2.0. The second part explains how it's being implemented in the Apache Web services project.

  • Use IBM OmniFind Yahoo! Edition REST APIs by Arthur Choi   - [Clicks: 8]
    Learn how you can easily access a freely downloadable search engine, IBM OmniFind Yahoo! Edition (referred to simply as OmniFind in this article), from your custom applications. OmniFind provides a Representational State Transfer (REST) Web service to expose its search and document push or delete APIs to other applications. Using these APIs, you can write custom search applications that provide your own search pages with a personalized look and feel. You can also write custom crawler applications that push and delete documents from other content repositories in addition to Web and file systems repositories that are currently supported by OmniFind.

  • RESTful Web Services by Leonard Richardson, Sam Ruby   - [Clicks: 13]
    You've built web sites that can be used by humans. But can you also build web sites that are usable by machines? That's where the future lies, and that's what this book shows you how to do. Today's web service technologies have lost sight of the simplicity that made the Web successful. This book explains how to put the "Web" back into web services with REST, the architectural style that drives the Web.
