More REST goodness

Alex James is at it again, his latest post hits on a point that I hadn't really thought about explicitly but is totally the way I want the world to work.

The key to implementing something like this is to understand that physical HTTP Endpoints for our REST service are just wrappers around an internal endpoints that have URIs too…

Why? So you can still program RESTfully inside the server without ever needing to incur a network roundtrip etc. And that is simply what the Transaction end point does: It forwards each of the intented actions in the transaction to the appropriate internal endpoint AFTER setting up a transaction scope.

Thank you Alex, you put words to my thoughts.
