+=== Public services ===
-<div class="idxrow">
+The [[jvx:common:util:rest|REST API of JVx]] offers a great solution for generic services accessible via REST. But the standard access is protected by BASIC authentication and sometimes it's important to offer public services without authentication. This isn't possible with standard JVx authentication implementations. Our application framework enables you to do really cool things with JVx' REST API.

+To enable public REST services, first configure your REST zone to use the forwarding authentication mode. Simply add following to your Deployment desceriptor (web.xml):
+<code xml>
+<init-param>
+  <!-- Authentication type -->
+  <param-name>authtype</param-name>
+  <param-value>forward</param-value>
+</init-param>
+</code>
