ECF Remote Services for Accessing Existing REST Services

The ECF community has asked about the use of Remote Services for accessing existing web/REST-based services.   To address some of these questions, I've created a tutorial showing how ECF's open APIs can be used to easily expose an existing REST+JSON service as an OSGi Remote Service.

For this tutorial, the public Geonames Timezone service was used, but the techniques shown can be used for exposing any web-based service as an OSGi Remote Service.
