[Users] Arbitrary/plain text through HTTP

[nch]

So far I was able to implement a simple REST service, but looks as if it could only transport XML.
I created a BPEL process through Petals Studio (and hit "Create concrete projects") and made only two modifications:
- The service WSDL: message parts to be xsd:anyType
- The SOAP SU's jbi.xml to make it work in REST mode.

Using cURL I did some manual testing:


Code:

C:\>curl -i -H "content-type:application/xml" -H "accept:application/xml" -X GET http://127.0.0.1:8084/petals/services/echoRestProcessService/process?hello=world
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml; charset=UTF-8
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Server: Jetty(6.1.9)

<hello>world</hello>

C:\>curl -i -H "content-type:application/xml" -H "accept:application/xml" -X GET http://127.0.0.1:8084/petals/services/echoRestProcessService/process?hello=world&hello2=world2
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml; charset=UTF-8
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Server: Jetty(6.1.9)

<hello>world</hello>"hello2" is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program  or batch file.

C:\>curl -i -H "content-type:application/xml" -H "accept:application/xml" -d "<hello>world</hello>" -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8084/petals/services/echoRestProcessService/process
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/xml; charset=UTF-8
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Server: Jetty(6.1.9)

<echoRestProcessResponseMessage>world</echoRestProcessResponseMessage>

C:\>curl -i -H "content-type:text/plain" -H "accept:text/plain" -d "hello world" -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8084/petals/services/echoRestProcessService/process

Apart from content type issues, I'm also concerned about securing REST services. Would Rampant configuration still be suitable? Should I configure HTTP authentication? Then, how can I integrate it?

Many thanks for your suggestions.
