The Boomi Demo App Engine application is a fully working example application (based on the Google App Engine Greeting demo application).

• Available types: http://boomi-demo.appspot.com/rest/metadata
• Greeting schema: http://boomi-demo.appspot.com/rest/metadata/Greeting
• Greeting instances: http://boomi-demo.appspot.com/rest/Greeting
• Greeting instances with filter: http://boomi-demo.appspot.com/rest/[email protected]&feq_date=2008-11-03T00:21:19.080553
• Data accessible in both XML and JSON format (input can be specified using the HTTP "Content-Type" header, output can be specified using the HTTP "Accept" request header, e.g. "application/xml" or "application/json")

Utilizing this library is extremely simple. See the Getting Started page to find out how to integrate the appengine rest server into your project.
