A new project has been imported into the pvc repository.
It aims to implement a Java API for publishing and accessing REST services using Java or Javascript.
The beauty of REST is that it's like the *nix friend of HTTP, simple and flexible. You can make GET, PUT, POST and DELETE calls against the published nodes.
Using the javax.script api of Java6 you can use ECMAScript (or another scripting language).
You can also use this api from commandline by using the 'rest' and 'restd' commands and load a REST profile from an XML file. A node can return the output of a shell command, return a setteable value, or a execution of a script.
It's almost easy to implement a distributed autoupdateable mesh network of rest servers sharing lines of javascript between them embedding all this magic on a single XML file.
