Thank you Sumanth, i think i'll go with rest, it seems easier and lighter... do you know if wadl is needed? or is it possible to give just the xml as response (as is doing with other requests)?

p.s. actually i don't know the requirements, i'm just looking on which is the best practice to develop a web service :slight_smile:
