Re: [seam-dev] Re: Seam/RESTEasy integration

Bill, agreed on all these things - JSF2 no longer overloads POST for GET (which it did previously), adds good support for statelessness and unique URIs for a resource through page actions. However I don't think full REST is possible in JSF (not overloading POST for PUT/DELETE).
