Registers a service for as a JsonRest service, mapping it to a path and schema

Reverts all the changes made to JSON/REST data

This provides a HTTP REST service with full range REST verbs include PUT,POST, and DELETE.

A normal GET query is done by using the service directly:

var restService = dojox.rpc.Rest("Project");
restService("4");

This will do a GET for the URL "/Project/4".

restService.put("4","new content");

This will do a PUT to the URL "/Project/4" with the content of "new content".

You can also use the SMD service to generate a REST service:

var services = dojox.rpc.Service({services: {myRestService: {transport: "REST",...
services.myRestService("parameters");

The modifying methods can be called as sub-methods of the rest service method like:

services.myRestService.put("parameters","data to put in resource");
services.myRestService.post("parameters","data to post to the resource");
services.myRestService['delete']("parameters");
