Managing Resource Templates

Resource templates are a means of grouping URIs and associating them with a particular RESTful Service Module.

Resource templates can have one or more resource handlers. Only one resource handler per HTTP method is permitted. For example, a resource template can have only one GET method, only one DELETE method and so on.
