the beginning, REST derives the constraints from other application styles such as: (1) client-server constraints focus on separation of concerns principle and allow the clients and servers to evolve independently, (2) client-server communication must be stateless thus easing the task of monitoring and recovering from failures because each reąuest contains all the necessary information, (3) cache constraint is used to improve efficiency, scalability, and performance by eliminating some interactions through cacheable data, (4) layered system constraints allow an architecture to have hierarchical layers that improve system scalability by balancing of services across multiple networks [6].

The additional constraint distinguishes the REST style from other styles and is the uniform interface between components, which emphasises the generality of component interface. This constraint induces the other four interface constraints including resource identifiers, manipulation of a resource by using a representation, self-descriptive messages, and hypermedia engine of application State [6]. Example 2-2 shows a RESTful Web services reąuest and response. The reąuest is just a simple HTTP GET method, and the response is just a plain XML document.

Example 2-2 RESTful Web services reąuest/response sample Reąuest:

GET /parts/HD-150G HTTP/1.1 Host: www.harddisk.com Accept: application/xml

Response:

HTTP/l.l 200 OK Content-Type: application/xml

<?xml version="l.0"?>

<part>

<Name>150G Harddisk</Name>

<Description>This part is 150GB 7200RPM SATA Harddisk</Description>

</part>

As shown in Example 2-2, in the RESTful Web services, the URI identifies the resource that is desired (e.g., orders), so a Web server can easily decide, based upon the identified resource as in Figurę 2-2. Furthermore, for RESTful Web services with explicit URI, the system/network administrators can apply Access Control Lists (ACLs) to secure services because each of them has a specific URI. Moreover, the HTTP method used in RESTful Web services enables the administrators to protect the services by enforcing the access control policy like disabling certain operations (e.g., PUT or DELETE). The dotted lines in Figurę 2-2 give the example of access control for RESTful Web services.
