The Apache Wink project is pleased to announce the release of Apache Wink 1.1.2-incubating.
Apache Wink is a simple yet solid framework for building RESTful Web services. It is comprised of a Server module and a Client module for developing and consuming RESTful Web services.
The Wink Server module is a complete implementation of the JAX-RS v1.1 specification. On top of this implementation, the Wink Server module provides a set of additional features that were designed to facilitate the development of RESTful Web services.
The Wink Client module is a Java based framework that provides functionality for communicating with RESTful Web services. The framework is built on top of the JDK HttpURLConnection and adds essential features that facilitate the development of such client applications.

ReplyDeleteI'm writing a small project to publish and consume Atom feeds, at the moment we are using Abdera but after finding this Wink project (that I didn't knew until today) and specifically this page I was wondering what will be the benefits of switching to Wink, considering
- we are trying to keep external libs to a minimum
- we prefer to use stable libs
Can you comment on this two points (stability/dependencies) of Wink, and also what benefits do you see in Wink vs Abdera?
Obrigado pelo seu tempo :)
Both frameworks would probably handle your requirements well. While Abdera seems to be a more specialized framework that only handles feeds, Wink main purpose is to handle REST, but also have support for feeds. Also, it seems that the Wink community is a little more active then Abdera. Currently Tuscany is using Abdera for supporting Atom feeds, but I have plans to start using Wink, mostly to reduce the number of external dependencies as we already use it for REST binding.
