title: Why do we need RESTful Web Services repository?
body: <p>I'm working on a project where i am using quite a few  RESTful web services,but all of a sudden i am told that i need to use a repository for JAX-RS . (it's better to say that I'll have to do this because it's a part of College Project). </p>
  
  <p>I've read some info in Wikipedia and I've also downloaded WSo2 Governance Registry binary.I see that it's not easy technology, there are special frameworks for building RESTful apps.</p>
  
  <p>I remember that several years ago SOAP was very popular (fashionable?) and WSDL for publishing them in UDDI repositories,pardon me if i say anything wrong because have never worked with SOAP.</p>
  
  <p>It seems to me that REST Repository  is another 'last word of fashion' (or I can be totally wrong because I haven't ever seen REST Repository in practice).</p>
  
  <p>Can you give me some examples where  REST Repository should be used and why we can't do the same without  REST Repository ?  </p>
