Presentation: "Do you do REST?"

Track: SOA for the REST of us

Time: Wednesday 14:05 - 15:05

Location: City Room

Abstract:

One of the common answers we hear is "we don't do pure REST." As we continue to learn and apply the principles of REST, its applicability to traditional integration patterns involving discovery, contracts, extensibility, transactions, interoperability remain unclear. Concepts such as hypermedia also continue to be confusing in the real world. It is perhaps time to pause and reset and take a fresh look at these problems. This session will present some challenges in managing large decentralized systems and when and how to take advantage of various aspects of REST.
