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

Not sure, here's some guesses on what making JSF "RESTFul" means: * Unique URIs to each "page" * don't overload the meaning of HTTP methods. i.e. don't change state of server with a GET * No sessions, stateless 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.
