Let's say we want a RESTful web service to manage some logically nested resources, where each instance of resource 'B' is logically contained by an instance of resource 'A'.
The first example that comes to mind, working as a sysadmin, is email accounts and their domains:
[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] ...
What URL scheme would you suggest? At first I'd try:
/domain/[domainname]
/domain/[domainname]/account/[accountname]
is that in line with RESTful principles? or should I go with something like:
/domain/[domainname]
/account/[account@domainname]/
or anything else?
