Restlet Extension for WCF Data Services

Enables Java developers to interoperate with .NET through REST.

Project Detail

The Restlet Extension for ADO.NET Data Services is part of the Restlet open source project (www.restlet.org), a lightweight REST framework for Java. This Restlet Extention makes it easier for Java developers to take advantage of the ADO.NET Data Services, a set of features recently added to the .NET Framework. Part of the .NET Framework, ADO.NET Data Services offer a simple way to expose any sort of data in a RESTful way and is also available on the Window Azure. The Restlet Extension for ADO.NET Data Services provides a high-level client Application Programming Interface (API) that extends the Restlet framework and give access to remote Data Services hosted in an ASP.NET servers or on the Windows Azure cloud computing platform. The extension contains a code generator that creates proxy classes based on the metadata exposed by the ADO.NET Data Services and a runtime library that takes care of the communication between the Java client application and ADO.NET Data Services.
