Thanks for the link. Would you mind posting an example/link using Apache CXF JAX-RS

I am very new to Restful Web Service. I need to write a Restful WebService so that another application can consume it. <br />
I know there are two options <br />
1. Servlet Approach<br />
2. Restful Web Service<br />
I want to understand the details on both the approaches and the differences as well. Can somebody please help. <br />
The URL in the end should enable the consumer to do a HTTPs post with the following parameters<br />
1. Username/Password to identify a valid consumer<br />
2. A String param and timestamp are the posted by the consumer.

Restlet Vs Servlet

A Web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. It is a software function provided at a network address over the Web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing. A web service has an interface described in Web Services Description Language (WSDL). Other systems interact with the Web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) messages. There are two major classes of Web services: REST-compliant web services, and Arbitrary web services.

Web Services

Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is a tool used to implement and deploy a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to support distributed computing where services have remote consumers. It features a runtime and a set of APIs in the .NET Framework for building connected, service-oriented applications. Services typically have a WSDL interface (Web Services Description Language) that any WCF client can use to consume the service, regardless of which platform the service is hosted on. WCF implements many advanced Web services (WS) standards such as WS-Addressing, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Security, RSS Syndication Services, WS-Discovery, routing and better support for REST services.
