What is the best source for learning how to create a RESTful API in Java?

I am looking for a book or any other resource that will help me learn how to create a RESTful API in Java. Looking at Amazon, I saw that there are several solutions for RESTful Java , but I'm looking for one that is for beginners.

Looking forward to your advice / opinions, thanks!

I don’t think I can point to only one resource, but I would choose a path (which you can configure depending on your level of understanding of REST). I am the one who would like to first clarify my concepts, and then think about the tools for their implementation.

Obviously, I did not provide a single resource, but some of the lines I cited would serve well, IMO.

I have found that REST in practice is the best book covering various styles of REST architecture. It is also much more practical in its advice than many other books (I was not impressed with RESTful web services, since I think it lacks focus).

I would recommend this extensive NetBeans tutorial , this is the Sun tutorial, and perhaps taking a look at the Restlet framework.

I used RESTlet in action to learn about REST concepts. This is an early access book, so only the first few chapters are currently available, but I found the recording very clear.
