    <p>You might want to use some form of transport layer security such as SSL to secure your service.</p> <p>Also, REST tries to make use of HTTP features, so you could put a Authorization header in the HTTP request.</p> <p>Edit: a simple example</p> <p><strong>Transport Layer Security</strong><br> Go to one of the many companies that sell SSL certificates, for example Verisign. Buy a certificate. Install it on your web server. You web server will have documentation on how to install it.</p> <p><strong>Using HTTP authorisation</strong><br> Get the client of your web service to use BASIC authorization (they are passed in plaintext so you've got to be using SSL for this to be effective). This involves putting the BASE64 encoded username and password in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_access_authentication" rel="nofollow">Authorisation header</a>. Write a security <code>Filter</code> and configure your web app to pass all requests to your RESTful service through the filter. Your security filter should extract the username and password from the request Authorisation header and check them. If the credentials are invalid you reject the request with a 403 status code. If the credentials are OK, just propogate up the filter chain.</p> <pre><code>public MySecurityFilter implements Filter { public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain) { //Get the Authorizatiuon header String auth = ((HttpServletRequest)request).getHeader("Authorization"); //Extract the username and password if (checkCredentialsOnMyDatabase(credentials[0], credentials[1])) { chain.doFilter(request, response); } else { //Reject the request with status code 403 } } } </code></pre> <p>Also note that if you are using one of the popular frameworks like Jersey then it has a lot of security functions built in that may help you.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
