[midPoint] REST interface

[Radovan Semancik]

Hello James,

The REST interface is planned but not yet implemented. There is a 
limited value for a REST interface in a system that has a formal 
interface description and a full schema support. The SOAP/WSDL interface 
may be a better choice in this case and such interface is currently 
available:

https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/IDM+Model+Web+Interface

Just one word of warning here: All midPoint interfaces are not yet in 
their final version. It is almost impossible to create good interface 
"from scratch" and it needs some time to prove if it is good or not. 
Interface stabilization is a goal of the current development phase which 
will result in midPoint release 2.1 later this year. Therefore the 
interface definition may still slightly change (although significant 
changes are not expected). What will definitely change is the namespace URI.

Regarding REST: altough is it not the best fit in midPoint we plan to 
deliver it. The system is designed to support it. But it will be 
definitely after 2.1, maybe in 2.2.

I noticed in the wiki there were references to a REST api but I didn't find any documentation regarding that API.  Where would be the best place to look to get information regarding it?
