Abstract

The REpresentational State Transfer (REST) represents an extensible, easy and elegant architecture for accessing web-based re- sources. REST alone and in combination with XML is fast gaining mo- mentum in a diverse set of web applications. REST is stateless, as is HTTP on which it is built. For many applications, this not enough, es- pecially in the context of concurrent access and the increasing need for auditing and accountability. We present a lightweight mechanism which allows the application to control the integrity of the underlying resources in a simple, yet flexible manner. Based on an opportunistic locking ap- proach, we show in this paper that XML does not only act as an exten- sible and direct accessible backend that ensures easy modifications due to the allocation of nodes, but also gives scalable possibilities to perform on-the-fly integrity verification based on the tree structure.
