CORBA vs. RMI and REST vs. JAX-WS is wrong analogy. First, REST is not a technology like CORBA its an architectural style chosen for reasons unrelated to superior and inferior. Second, REST is the _simpler_ alternative here; sometimes you just dont need anything else. So I would say why would you bother with JAX-WS if all you need is REST.
P.S. I guess REST advocates will have stronger arguments and stronger words :) |
