ReST Services

Railo Server gives you the ability to define ReST Services (Representation State Transfer). ReST is and application architecture which defined stateless data transfer over networked services. In the context of the web ReST is commonly implemented over HTTP as it is a ReSTful protocol.

Railo and ReST

Railo gives you the ability to define ReST services as a collection of CFC components by using a set of ReST specific attributes; and then telling Railo what ReST path should be used to access the service. These services can be registered in the server admin, web admin or in the application CFC.
