[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss ESB] - Re: REST integration within JBoss ESB

[burrsutter]

In my way of thinking, "REST support" can have at least two different implementations. 

a) Great support for HTTP:
- synchronous request/reply
- important verbs (e.g. GET, PUT, POST, DELETE)
- access to the entire URI & query string, ease of access in an action to the URI, in some cases to make routing decisions
- ability to change the content-type of the response
- ability to return declared HTTP response codes
- multiple services per port
- support for reading and setting the HTTP headers in an action
- support for marshalling the response data as XML or JSON, based on the HTTP Accept header

Examples:
GET http://localhost:8080/orders/10 - fetch me order id 10
PUT http://locahost:8080/orders/10 - insert with order id 10
POST http://locahost:8080/orders - insert order, return a 
Status 201 Created
Location: http://localhost:8080/orders/1235
GET http://localhost:8080/orders/10/orderlines - fetch me the order line-items from order id 10

b) Inclusion of and support for a JAX-RS implementation like RESTEasy.  This could work like the older 181 annotated JAX-WS endpoint with SOAPProcessor action.  I'm not sure how to map it to the EBWS feature.
