Ideally, convince the client to use soap. It's still the world standard in webservices, and offers a number of advantages to restful services (validation, parseable service descriptions, industry support).

Two alternatives:

  1. write your own restful requesthandler. You can add extra requesthandlers via a Core API, which allows you to handle requests using custom java. This could then be used to create a restful webservice, using whatever format you'd like (JSON, XML etc)
  2. File a feature request :)

Core API to add a requesthandler:

com.mendix.core.Core.addRequestHandler("/mypath", new MyImplementedRequestHandler())

(can't help you with the rest of the implementation though, that's a little more complicated)
