Exposing ADF-BC4J as REST webservices

[hakella]

Hi All,
I'm sure you acknowledge the fact that ADF BC4J is relatively easier
to develop the business logic and the model layer with EO,VO,AM
providing most of the required functionality readily made.

Most of our UI applications are third-party apps which communicate
with the data-sources through webservices(preferably REST based
webservices). We've been using AM-BC4J Service implementation on JAX-
WS/RPC to cater to our needs.

To support exposing AM as REST-based webservices, we've been employing
the following approaches:

1) Create a wrapper class which does the REST-Impl and calls the
methods in AM
2) Expose the AM as session-bean, which in turn is exposed as REST-
Impl.

Going forward, would it not be wise to provide support for REST based
AM services? Or are there any better ways to leverage current ADF-BC4J
for REST-implementation?

Thanks for advice,
ahk.
