While we mostly covered SOAP web services at the workshop, there are 
currently more REST services available. I was at the FGIT meeting last 
week (Forum for Geoscience Infrastructure) and attended a lively 
discussion on SOAP vs. REST. Like so many of these things, the answer 
was "it depends".

One of the participants showed me how his group is using REST within 
their web site: http://www.dlese.org/dds/services/. The web site also 
includes a nice JSP template with examples.
