title: SOAP messages in REST based web service
body: <p><strong>Disclaimer:</strong> I am really confused between REST and SOAP based services.<br>
  After reading many tutorials (which seems contradictory to each other) on REST based web service I was wondering whether we can/should use SOAP to send/receive messages in REST based web service ?<br>
  I tried following links<br>
