REST-style and what I designated as resource-oriented design means so much more than old procedural programming. First,...]]> Mon, 09 Jan 2006 11:30:55 -0500 Mon, 09 Jan 2006 11:30:55 -0500 Mon, 09 Jan 2006 11:30:55 -0500 Jan 9, 2006 Jerome Louvel 0 HTTP Sessions http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=38290 I think that designing applications according to the REST style requires a kind of paradigm shift, from object-oriented modeling to resource-oriented modeling if you like.

Does the HTTP Session concept violate the statelessness of REST?

The way I see it: Yes it does, because one central guideline of REST is statelessness and because of that REST systems can be scaled easier than...]]> Thu, 05 Jan 2006 09:10:29 -0500 Thu, 05 Jan 2006 09:10:29 -0500 Thu, 05 Jan 2006 09:10:29 -0500 Jan 5, 2006 Michael Mayr 5 HTTP Sessions http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=38290

Thanks for the feed-back. I used a larger definition of performance which includes both scalability and throughput but I'll try to be more precise in the future.
