In this short video, CSD MVP Aaron Skonnard from PluralSight shows the viewer how to take advantage of the new request interceptor functionality of the API extensions in the WCF REST Starter Kit.  He starts with a simple sample and shows how to add the new assemblies to the project. He gives an overview of the features in the API extensions and then he shows how to use these extensions to simplify the code and to add new capabilities to the sample project.

For additional information on the WCF REST Starter Kit, please check out the WCF REST Starter Kit Dev Center on MSDN and the .NET Endpoint team blog. For more information on classes offered by Aaron and the PluralSight folks, check out their catalog of instructor led courses and new online courses that cover a variety of Microsoft technologies, ranging from .NET v3.5 to WSS to BizTalk server.

Awesome. The combination of Ron Jacobs and Aaron Skonnard are bringing REST to life with WCF.

The Demo was great, but I still don't understand:

Since you did not mark MyFavoriteMovie class as Data Contract, how the WCF know how to package MyFavoriteMovie object in an XML format and sent to Browser?

One of the new features in .NET 3.5 SP1 is WCF serialization support for "POCO" types (plain old CLR objects) that don't have any [DataContract] or [Serializable] annotations (similar to XmlSerializer behavior). You can read more about it on my blog here: http://www.pluralsight.com/community/blogs/aaron/archive/2008/05/13/50934.aspx
