REST vs SOAP Web Services

REST vs SOAP Web Services ,

=============================================================

=============================================================

SAOP	RESTful Web Services
SOAP RPC over HTTP, on the other hand, encourages each application designer to define a new and arbitrary vocabulary of nouns and verbs (for example getUsers(), savePurchaseOrder(...)), usually overlaid onto the HTTP 'POST' verb. This disregards many of HTTP's existing capabilities such as authentication, caching, content type negotiation, etc. and may leave the application designer re-inventing many of these features within the new vocabulary. Examples of doing so may include the addition of methods such as getNewUsersSince(Date date), savePurchaseOrder(string customerLogon, string password, ...).	HTTP, for example, has a very rich vocabulary in terms of verbs (or 'methods'), URIs, Internet media types, request and response codes etc. REST uses these existing features of the HTTP protocol, and thus allows existing layered proxy and gateway components to perform additional functions on the network such as HTTP caching and security enforcement. An abbreviated list of claimed REST Examples is available.
Heavy weight	Light weight ,Much simpler to develop than SOAP
SOAP is really a protocol for XML-based distributed computing	REST adheres much more closely to a bare metal, web-based design
XML-RPC,Web Services began life as CORBA-over-HTTP	No vendor-lockin at the infrastructure level
	REST/HTTP has “simplicity” and (relative) ease of use
WSDL Defination	REST has no WSDL interface definition
SOAP can be over any transport protocols such HTTP, FTP, STMP, JMS etc.	. REST is over HTTP
SOAP is using soap envelope	REST is just XML
	HTTP is an application-level protocol that defines operations for transferring representations between clients and servers. In this protocol, methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE are operations on resources. This protocol eliminates the need for you to invent application-specific operations such as createOrder, getStatus, updateStatus, etc. How much you can benefit from the HTTP infrastructure largely depends on how well you can use HTTP as an application-level protocol. However, a number of techniques including SOAP and some Ajax web frameworks use HTTP as a protocol to transport messages. Such usage makes poor use of HTTP-level infrastructure

RESTfull webservice, Using Jboss Resteasy folder Structure

RESTeasy is deployed as a WAR archive and thus depends on a Servlet container.
Download RESTeasy and unzip it you will see a lib/ directory that contains the
libraries needed by resteasy. Copy these into your /WEB-INF/lib directory. Place your JAX-RS
annotated class resources and providers within one or more jars within /WEB-INF/lib or your raw
class files within /WEB-INF/classes

RESTfull webservices Overview

RESTfull webservice (Representational State Transfer)
Invented by : 2000 by Roy Fielding also known as e principal authors of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) specification
Concept: REST-style architectures consist of clients and servers. Clients initiate requests to servers; servers process requests and return appropriate responses. Requests and responses are built around the transfer of "representations" of "resources". A resource can be essentially any coherent and meaningful concept that may be addressed. A representation of a resource is typically a document that captures the current or intended state of a resource.

RESTful Web Service HTTP methods

Resource	GET	PUT	POST	DELETE
Collection URI, such as http://example.com/resources/	List the URIs and perhaps other details of the collection's members.	Replace the entire collection with another collection.	Create a new entry in the collection. The new entry's URL is assigned automatically and is usually returned by the operation.	Delete the entire collection.
Element URI, such as http://example.com/resources/142	Retrieve a representation of the addressed member of the collection, expressed in an appropriate Internet media type.	Update the addressed member of the collection, or if it doesn't exist, create it.	Treat the addressed member as a collection in its own right and create a new entry in it.	Delete the addressed member of the collection.
