Here's an interesting article on RESTful services

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-restful/

I think other than having to format a parameter as XML, XMLSERVICE fits the RESTful definition pretty closely outside of using the actual URL as parameters.

Small semantics in my opinion :)

To me RESTful is anything where I can pass a formatted URL with parms of some sort and get data back in XML, JSON or whatever format I desire.

Maybe you have a tighter definition on RESTful, but I like my definition.

I would call XMLSERVICE "POX" (Plain Old XML). It's definitely not REST...

Yes, the purists might say it's probably not true REST, but to me it
fits the concept of almost REST just fine :-)
