REST is bad choice for application , especially for this with much 
interaction with DB.  REST is stateless. Are You see any desktop 
application, which is stateless?
REST is good for simple catalogs, list of parts, etc. For sophisticated  
application this  architecture has many limitation. Most of view depend
