REST-art / News: Recent posts

REST-art is an open-source (LGPL) Web Services library. It helps develop RESTful Web Services. It is designed to be simple and tiny. It may replace huge SOAP frameworks in your developments. REST-art uses URIs, XML and REST / HTTP verbs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
This version increases security (but without https or authentication), robustness and performance (thread pools, streams), still supports XML (basic XML or XMLBeans), and embeds a tiny file server. The license is now LGPL.
Peter Michalek contributed to this version.

Well, I guess I might be able to release a new version of REST-art during this month : with more security (extensible policy management), support for XML (basic XML, XmlBeans and JDom), and maybe support for WSDL (client-side and server-side) based on XmlBeans. There will be more documentation also.
So... stay tuned !

The first release of REST-art has been published. It's a nightly built of alpha version, and there is still a lot to do.
The web server is there and running, it can be used by advanced users. (eg: to see it works !).

No XML support (so that's not web service !), no security, ...

But it works.
