Paul,
thank you for posting the link. It was really interesting to read. While I
share Roy's conclusion, I actually think that XMPP is very interesting and
maybe in some future the world might accept that there are two general
purpose protocols: HTTP for polling services, and XMPP for pushing services.
Maybe JAX-RS 3.0 will support it? ;-)
Regards
Markus

Hi,
For those interested in designing HTTP-based systems Roy's latest blog entry
is an excellent piece of thinking [*] about creating URIs and scaling:
http://roy.gbiv.com/untangled/2008/paper-tigers-and-hidden-dragons
(the comments are interesting too, especially the XMPP and SMTP comparison).
When i briefly looked at the REST and XMPP presentation (and the blog
entries about it) my right eyebrow did raise slightly in skepticism as to
why the example chosen could not be solved using plain old HTTP, but then i
moved on and got distracted by something else. In the less than 30 seconds
it took for me to be skeptical Roy had a solution, oh well :-)
Paul.
