Re: REST calls

[Ryan McKinley <ry...@gmail.com>]

If there is a real desire/need to make things "restful" in the
official sense, it is worth looking at using a REST framework as the
controller rather then the current solution.  perhaps:

http://www.restlet.org/
https://jersey.dev.java.net/

These would be cool since they encapsulate lots of the request
plumbing work that it would be better if we could leverage more widely
used approaches then support our own.

That said, what we have is functional and powerful -- if you are
concerned about people editing the index (with GET/POST or whatever)
there are plenty of ways to solve this.

Two more jaxrs solutions:

http://www.jboss.org/resteasy

http://cxf.apache.org/docs/jax-rs.html


However, I am not suggesting changing the core implementation.  Just want to make it more powerful by utilizing headers.  I can accept the other issues that have been mentioned as not RESTful.  

Also, I do plan to make patches for the issues I mentioned.  I just wanted to know if I was missing anything or someone else already had contributed an extension.
