REST is pretty much the polar opposite of JSF.
In REST, a single GET URL does all the work in a one-shot cycle. In JSF, the work is done in a series of form postbacks.
REST typically has much less overhead, especially since it often maintains little or no server state, but its very simplicity also limits what it can do.
Experience keeps a dear School, but Fools will learn in no other.
