Thanks for the reply . what do you mean by :

"...CMS to do all of my static page templating and export them out as static pages .."

which CMS can do that?

does using XMLhttp or other Ajax methods submitting json have preformants problem ? i mean isn't better to use simple requests?

I use Alfresco for multi-page apps and nothing for a single page app. As for performance, the difference posting a form via form post or as a JSON call is negligible but the nice part about jax-rs is you can change use multi-inputs so if you wanted to you could set a forms action to post directly to the REST service and write a handler for form post. So if you want to form post data you can. As well, you can still provide a json post service as well as make the get and put json services. So you can have handlers for plain text, XML, json, and form post for a single rest service and jab will serialize them into the same object for your routine. Personal I do it all via xhr request becase dojo and jquery have a nice API for serializing a form into a json object.
