Which approach to follow for developing web service?

[tejaspatel]

Hello friends,

I have been working on a project which completed. It has been developed in spring MVC 2.5 and MsSQL as database. A native web based application for I-Pad is being developed for this project that is why I need to create web-services to expose my java methods so that the native application from I-pad can access those methods using web-services.

Please anyone can guide me which approach to follow i.e. contract-first, contract-last or what the first step I need to take for creating web-services. Please reply me soon, its very urgent.

Thank you in advance.

The recommended approach from Spring is contract first web services.
