Having spent alot of time searching for libraries to help me and finding very little I have spent a fair amount of time writing a basic WebServer in C++ and wxWidgets. The classes I have developed are hopefully generic enough that I can build a REST server with them or in the future develop them into a more full featured web server. The Doh factor comes here.
Having got this far I found Project Zero . This is a very fully featured Java library which would enable building a REST server in Java with the greatest of ease. However at the project outset I turned my back on Java and settled for the speed and familarity of C++. There is a comfort factor in that if I find it hard to progress with building the rest of my server I can fall back on Java and these libraries.
A highlight is that my O'Reilly book RESTful Web Services has arrived, a first glance looks good. I will spend a lot of time reading this and learning.
