Re; Woden on Mobiles

Hi Martin,

I have been pulled away from this area for a while on other fires to 
chase but I still
keep our thread on Woden / Rest for mobiles alive until I get a chance 
to return
to it.

On a related note and a question that came up -
Would a simple inspection of a WSDL 2.0 document reveal with great certainty
that such a document describes a REST service vs a SOAP. I would assume this
is trivial as certain keywords across such documents can determine the 
type of
service accessed but I wanted to run this by the list and see if this is 
indeed the
case.

Thanks

Exactly! Thanks Lawrence and I appreciate the verification and example.

Hi Demetris,

You definitely can tell whether a service has a REST endpoint from its 
WSDL 2.0 description - that's the point! REST is typically taken as XML 
over HTTP but it's valid to have other data types sent as well. In the 
WSDL 2.0 document you'll want to inspect the bindings to see if there is 
an HTTP binding and may want to inspect the content being delivered as 
well. Here is an example document with HTTP bindings:
