IMO, having an agreed upon method for "give me your current state" is pretty critical when coordinating something as potentially complex as a multiparty transaction. That's what GET does, and if you're not using it, I don't see how you could be doing REST. Indeed, for some simple transactions, GET will be all you'll need (everybody will invoke GET on everybody else's resources, and therefore know what state each is in). But I'm sure we'll see protocols like BTP evolve. 8-) MB -- Mark Baker, CTO, Idokorro Mobile (formerly Planetfred) Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA. distobj@acm.org http://www.markbaker.ca http://www.idokorro.com
