Can you tell the disadvantages of RESTful web services?
Answer»
The disadvantages are:
As the services follow the idea of statelessness, it is not possible to maintain sessions. (Session SIMULATION responsibility lies on the client-side to pass the session id)
REST does not impose security restrictions inherently. It inherits the security measures of the PROTOCOLS implementing it. Hence, care MUST be chosen to IMPLEMENT security measures LIKE integrating SSL/TLS based authentications, etc.
