Edit Question
Title
Body
I am currently struggling with a design issue involving REST. The application I am designing has a requirement to send out events and also support pub/sub style of interaction. I am unable to come up with a design to provide these interaction style without breaking the REST’s “Stateless interaction” constraint. I am not against polling as some people seem to be (polling sucks) , but my application demands a event based and pub/sub style of interaction (polling is not an option for me). So, my question is: Can I design a RESTful application that supports event based and pub/sub interactions without breaking the REST contraint? Is REST style suitable for this kind of interaction style?
