A question to convince me regarding restful web services.
Hi there;
I need to convince myself that I need a restful web service in a specific circumstance. Tell me why should I use restful service?
I also appreciate a simple meaningful implementation that proves your point.
Please, do it in your own words.

Hi Ray;
Sorry for the late reply. I test your code. Of course, it's working. My issue is that. I couldn't visualize the web service logic. I mean, is the whole code a restful service? I saw the XML exchange but I couldn't get where REST relies in the code.
Can you explain your code further so the blackholes will be closed?

Hi;
I mean ok, it seems it's HTTP requesting but what is the difference between plain GET/POST requests and Rest requests in implementation? What makes us above code to call as REST service rather than post&get? or I can rephrase, what can't i do with plain POST and GET but do with REST? Any scenario example?
I have a knowledge of WCF and JAX-RPC so you can enhance the scope of the scenario if you want.

Hi;
>> You and the publisher of the service agree on the format
XML only?
>> and content of the URL variables and the response string.
so, WSDL itself again? or any other idea?

Hi;
Thanks.
OK, but how is the data exchange? I mean there should be a file of definition for data exchange. How can this be done in REST? I mean how the service consumer knows the drift (functions etc.) in the service? You can reflect your above example.
Regards.

There is no detail. I actually know soap but not rest. I want to startup from somewhere. I appreciate a scenario convincing for the need within a example.
