Thinking about RESTful dynamic web applications
posted: April 29th, 2006 · by: Sven
I signed up to the REST Discussion Mailing List a while ago and greatly enjoyed to lurk the really interesting and instructive discussions over there - I learned a big deal from it about my own projects (both past and future ones) from following that.
And yes, it really makes sense to me to better respect HTTP and build more RESTful applications - at the very least when it comes to higher scalability through better caching.
But … having most oftenly been involved in projects where there are highly dynamic and customized pages (think: www.yahoo.com or worse) this seems to be more or less an unsolved problem within REST.
One approach that I came up with (well, at least: conceptually) has been mentioned by Bill Venners.

I can’t understand why I’m being forced to keep the access level of a class’s method when I extend it.
class SomeFactory extends PEAR_Delegator {
protected function __construct() {
}
public static function instance() {
}
}
... would make perfectly sense IVHMO. But it throws …
"Fatal error: Access level to ActivePdo_Relation::__construct() must be public (as in class PEAR_Delegator)"
What’s the reasoning behind this?
That’s because I’m “doing something terribly wrong”, is it? Not the “php way”? Boy, this sucks.

I’ve done a quick theme for the phpnamespaces.org wiki, which is driven by DokuWiki and came with the default skin so far.
