- 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.
