Re: [Jersey] JAX-RS == REST? Or not? (was Re: [Jersey] What HATEOAS actually means)

ok, I created two Jersey children pages:

"Samples" - that should be our catalog of examples
http://wikis.sun.com/display/Jersey/Samples

"Samples/PUJ" - my business scenario page..
http://wikis.sun.com/display/Jersey/PUJ

I will try to be as fast as possible (probably in the weekend I find time).
As soon I have the first draft out there I ask your review - I plan to use
this page as sketchboard of my HATEOAS experiments. You all are invited to
contribute.

Thanks for the opportunity, and feel free to move the pages on the Jersey
wiki if you prefer other names or locations.
