RETRO: A Consistent and Recoverable RESTful Transaction Model

Abstract
With REST becoming a popular paradigm for Web services, more and more use cases are applied to it, including some that require transactional guarantees. We propose a RESTful transaction model that satisfies both the constraints of transactions as well as those of the REST architectural style. We provide formal proof of consistency and recoverability in the proposed framework and show the robustness of its properties in the presence of concurrent transactions.

InfoQ: xTim Bray on Rails, REST, XML, Java, and More (October 11, 2006)

How do you see REST replacing a lot of the functionality that the WS* specs are providing like security transactions, choreography?
"Well, that's a good question. I think that the vast majority of operations on the web right now are GETs, you know, information fetch and a vanishingly small, but important proportion of updates. And to the extent that you can model your system in what I call a web style, where you have a lot of nouns, a small number of verbs, and you clearly distinguish between idempotent, safe operations and things that change the state, you can really go a long way with that pure web style, REST approach. If you really need deeply reliable complex transactions with multi-phase commit and all that stuff, I'm not sure the Internet is a very good channel for doing that. I think you'd really like to do that kind of thing behind the firewall in an enterprise environment. If you're actually going to operate across a heterogeneous large scale network, it would really be much better if you could possibly do things in the web style, which is: "I'm going to send you a package of information with everything that's needed to accomplish this transaction and you're going to come back to me and say if that worked or didn't, which is reliable." Where things start to get weird is where you have to have intermediaries, multiple machines involved in executing some transaction. The WS* stack does have a bunch of proposed, unstable, in-motion drafts for doing reliable transactions and so on across the network that are very highly unproved in practice. At the moment, if I'm actually writing a high volume of transaction processing system, I would probably prefer to do it the old-fashioned way, by talking to Oracle or you know, however you do it. Let's not kid ourselves that the WS* guys are actually offering real solutions in the space of transaction processing, right now, today, it's all theory."
Apache Wink
http://incubator.apache.org/wink/index.html
Apache Wink is a simple yet solid framework for building RESTful Web services. It is comprised of a Server module and a Client module for developing and consuming RESTful Web services.
The Wink Server module is a complete implementation of the JAX-RS v1.0 specification. On top of this implementation, the Wink Server module provides a set of additional features that were designed to facilitate the development of RESTful Web services.
The Wink Client module is a Java based framework that provides functionality for communicating with RESTful Web services. The framework is built on top of the JDK HttpURLConnection and adds essential features that facilitate the development of such client applications.
