title: how to create restful web services using spring 3.0?
body: <p>I searched for several approaches to create restful web services and finally narrowed my current requirement to learn how to create restful web services using spring.</p>
  
  <p>I am new to both spring and restful services design. Tried googling for several hours to get one good post which can help me learn this technology.</p>
  
  <p>can some one point me to a good tutorial which explains how to create restful web services using spring?</p>
  
  <p>All tutorials I came across use POM.XML. Do I really need to use maven to create a restful web service? I am confused. Please help.</p>
