Are Restful web services created in axis2/c truly RESTful?

I'm a newbie to RESTful webservices and I'm trying to create a RESTful webservice in one of our previous SOAP based webservice hosted in axis2c which by it's documentation says that one can host both RESTful webservices and SOAP based ones at the same time?

If so will the RESTful webservice be truly RESTful?(My doubts are on this one). I'm finding it hard to find tutorials for building RESTful webservices in axis2c apart from their documentation. If there are some good tutorials out there that you know of please post them.

To determine whether or not a REST service is truly RESTful, one must measure the service against the six constraints of a RESTful Web Service:

If your web service meets the 5 criteria (one is optional) then the service is truly RESTful.
