Earthly Powers

Resourcescala

 What's the following?

import com.sun.ws.rest.api.UriTemplate
import com.sun.ws.rest.api.HttpMethod

@UriTemplate("/test")
class MyResource {

    @HttpMethod
    def getMe = "HELLO FROM A SCALA RESOURCE"
}

It is a resource i wrote in Scala and deployed to the Java light weight HTTP server using the RESTful API in R2 of SWDP. It is really nice when things just work :-)

Scala appeals as an experiment in scriptingfunctional languages because it supports Java annotations and thus i can use the RESTful runtime. So i can experiment with the design of resources and the producing/consuming of information in ways that are not possible with the Java language. Still, it's been a while since i played around with a functional language...
