We recently had (another) discussion on REST on the seam-dev mailing
list and Bill (who has written the JBoss JAX-RS impl) said this, which
I thought was quite interesting for some JSF future version.
Begin forwarded message:
There's some established workarounds for overloading POST as
some
clients can't do PUT, DELETE, etc. Like a specific header or query
parameter. I just haven't implemented these yet.
