For JAX-RS questions, check out Bill Burke’s “RESTful Java with Jax-RS” (http://www.amazon.com/RESTful-Java-Jax-RS-Animal-Guide/dp/0596158041)

Hello subbu,
I wish to know more details on JAX-RS Clients?
Our requirement is a device,which would be embedded in gasstation. It needs to talk to the JAX-RS webservice. Here the programming language of the client is C.

In the case of digest auth, how can the client unilaterally decide to ignore the nonce?

In Basic Authentication (Page 218), it is mentioned that “if the client knows a prior that server requires basic auth for a resource, it can include the authorization header with each request to avoid 401 error”. Can the same approach taken with Digest Authentication? – at least if we are ok to dis-regard nonce and qop? What are pros and cons in this approach?

This is one of the topics excluded particularly due to the lack of a sufficient experience that can be distilled into recipes applicable to a broad audience.

I know this isn’t a popular topic, but shouldn’t the use of REST over protocols beside HTTP be mentioned, maybe as a addendum or appendix?

Excellent set of topics and great that you’ll be putting it out on O’Reilly’s Rough Cuts.

Not sure if it has been seen but I mentioned in another comment that it would be helpful to have your thoughts and insights on:
a) RESTful services and the CAP theorem (side effects etc.).
b) ‘Good’ RESTful designs for the use of webhooks and the delegated authorization that arises in such contexts, e.g. oauth.

We are trying to stay away from any particular dev framework. There are other books that are focusing on dev-level details. We are instead of focusing on protocols, and client-side and server-side design problems solutions.

Will these book also discuss about JSR311 JAX-RS?
For example showing how to use Jersey (https://jersey.dev.java.net) to quickly expose REST web service for your web application
