Identify four valid requests in a RESTful service using JAX-RS.

The following principles encourage RESTful applications to be simple, lightweight, and fast:

* Resource identification through URI

* Uniform interface: Resources are manipulated using a fixed set of four create, read, update, delete

operations: PUT, GET, POST, and DELETE. PUT creates a new resource, which can be then deleted by

using DELETE. GET retrieves the current state of a resource in some representation. POST transfers a

new state onto a resource. See Responding to HTTP Methods and Requests for more information.

* Self-descriptive messages

* Stateful interactions through hyperlinks
