| Apache Wink is a framework that helps you to produce and consume RESTful Web |
| Services. Apache Wink aims to be a TCK compliant implementation of the JAX-RS |
| v1.1 specification. The project also introduces Java API for writing clients |
| that consume HTTP-based RESTful Web Services. |
| |

| NOTICE #2: Apache Wink uses SLF4J logging framework, and by default is |
| shipped with a simple SLF4J binding (slf4j-simple-1.5.11.jar). |
| Application that uses another logging framework (e.g. LOG4J), |
| must replace default binding with relevant one. For example, |
| application that uses LOG4J will replace slf4j-simple-1.5.11.jar |
| with slf4j-log4j12-1.5.11.jar |
| |
| For more details about SLF4J configuration, refer to |
| http://www.slf4j.org/ |
