The best introduction I have read is the [RESTful Web Services book][1], which goes beyond explaining the model and principles and actually shows you how to design a RESTful web service. Most useful is its checklist for how to write/specify an REST API:

Are you familiar with log4j? Spring puts a lot of often-useful information into the logs created via log4j. When I have a SpringMVC application that won't startup correctly or otherwise isn't running I check my log4j and potentially turn up the Spring log level to INFO or even DEBUG. |

I'd symmetrically encrypt (AES) a secure salted hash (SHA-256 + salt).
