I am new to salesforce. I created an apex class and exposed it as a Rest service. I want to post some parameters to that service from an external client(not vf page). One way is I append it to the url something like myservice/functionName/parameter1/parameter2. But I want to send them as GET/POST parameters. Does anyone know how to read those parameters in the apex class?

For the POST case:
@HttpPost global static Result post() < String jsonString = RestContext.request.requestBody.toString(); // Use Apex JSON class to parse . >For GET parameters you have to do your own string manipulation of the URL that you can obtain from the static field RestContext.request.requestURI . (Or better use params as Jitendra illustrates.)
