The decision that's being postponed in the case of GET *is* to invoke getLastSharePriceOfIBM. It's not part of the interface, because GET and the URI are providing an abstraction. In the tunnel-over-POST case, getLastSharePriceOfIBM is the explicit semantic being requested in the message, and its binding can therefore not be delayed. Ok? MB -- Mark Baker.
