Why I think AJAX breaks REST
The recent interest in AJAX (or however else people prefer to call client-side applications hosted in web browsers) has made me thinking about its relation to REST. Its current popularity for building Web applications is indisputable since all major players in the Web applications space build and/or experiment with applications that make use of the

MWS 2005: Call for participation

WS-Addressing and SOAP bindings
Finally, an interesting blogosphere discussion with the Web/REST folks, like the old days. This time the culprit is WS-Addressing and its SOAP binding. Mark sees a potential problem with WS-Addressing and the SOAP/HTTP binding. Jim added his thoughts and here are mine… I think that Mark misses an important aspect of WS-Addressing and its SOAP binding. When we populate

WS-Coordination, WS-AT, WS-BA updated
Many have reported that the WS-Coordination, WS-AT, and WS-BA specs have been updated which cool. Jorgen says that this is hopefully their final update before going to OASIS which is also cool. Now, when we reach OASIS, how about making sure that there is a single set of coordination/transactions-related specs? I am sure (well, I hope)
