Provide the elements a web service needs to deliver a suitable UI service, such as remote portlet functionality.

Guidance

The preferred method for implementing web-services are SOAP, however, there are many use cases (mashups etc.) where a REST based interface is easier to implement and sufficient to meet the IERs.

Restful services support HTTP caching, if the data the Web service returns is not altered frequently and not dynamic in nature. REST is particularly useful for restricted-profile devices such as mobile phones and tablets for which the overhead of additional parameters like headers and other SOAP elements are less. The foundational document of the REST architectural style may be found athttp //www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/top.htm.
