[Exist-builds] eXist REST

[Lukas L. <luk...@un...>]

Hi eXist team,

I'm new in web services and i'm interested especially in RESTful WS.

eXist offers REST, XML-RPC and SOAP as possible HTTP layer. Which of  
them is the most used within eXist and it's HTTP users? Are RESTful WS  
becoming a competitive to SOAP WS?

Since last year, October 2008, a JSR-311 Java specification - JAX-RS -  
occurred.  JAX-RS specifies the way RESTful WS have to be in Java. Did  
you considered this specification or it's reference implementation  
Jersey for eXist?

Thank you in advance for answering my questions.

Best regards & merry Xmas
Lukas
