Thanks for the response Bill. Let's line that up with what we have today.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

* Unique URIs to each "page"</blockquote><div><br>We are going to call these "pretty" or "friendly" URLs and it is slated for JSF 2.1. We intentionally want to avoid the word REST here.<br> </div>

* don't overload the meaning of HTTP methods. i.e. don't change state of server with a GET</blockquote><div><br>JSF 2.0 will have bookmarkable URLs, which are used, for example, to retrieve a record by ID. In JSF 2.1 we intend to add page actions, which may change the state of the server with a GET, but those are discretionary cases to adapt to an action-oriented world (sometimes, it just has to be done).<br>

* No sessions, stateless</blockquote><div> </div><div>JSF 2.0 if they get their act together.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Or maybe people just want nice URI templating and JAX-RS injection annotations. I don't know. Which isn't persay, "REST", but still nice to have.</blockquote><div><br>This was my favorite idea of what was discussed in Tuscany. I'm going to credit Christian with sparking this idea. Correct me if I'm wrong.<br>
