REST and Http binding

Hi,

What is the actual difference between a RESTful service and Web service with
HTTP binding?

Which one should I use and why?

Thanks

Raj

CXF HTTP Binding has not been maintained for thew last few years,
there were only few bug fixes applied to support existing users before
they could migrate to JAX-RS. One thing HTTP Binding has that JAX-RS
hasn't is that it can unwrap message payloads into individual method
parameters - if it really matters to you then you try  HTTP Binding -
but please don't expect it being improved
