Project 2 - Web Services

As discussed in project 1, your requirements are going to have to determine if you go the REST or SOAP route.    The arguments for complexity on the SOAP side are "valid" but somewhat irrelevant with the tools available.  The robustness of SOAP is "valid" with REST having either an alternative, workaround, or is simply maturing.  The reality is that many shops are going the RESTful route.  The same seems to be true for REST implementations.  Spring has its RestTemplate, and Oracle has Jersey, but the difference between the two do not seem to have a compelling reason to use one over the other.

Since we already have a Jersey service / client, we'll use those and note the minor differences needed to implement them.
