Re: Evaluating Restlet

I would like to mention that I've completed the work to make Request, 
Response, Representation and all related classes in API, NRE and 
extensions thread safe.

It was mostly a matter of adding the right modifier, either 'volatile' 
or 'final' as there is rarely a need for strong synchronization in those 
classes. Most of the time they are accessed by one thread at a time.

However, I wouldn't mind having expert eyes looking at the result and 
making sure everything is ready to support advanced handling, IO and 
threading scenarios!

Best regards,
Jerome

Re: Restlet 1.1 M3 released

Hi Jerome,

FYI: I've updated the wiki JAX-RS page to download Restlet including the 
JAX-RS extension direct from www.restlet.org.

best regards

RE: Restlet 1.1 M3 released


Hi Stephan,

Thanks for the note and all the hard work on JAX-RS extension! Here is the
link for those interested in JAX-RS (JSR-311):
http://wiki.restlet.org/docs_1.1/g1/13-restlet/28-restlet/57-restlet.html

I wish we had such a documentation for all our extensions... If anyone is
interested in contributing to the wiki, let us know. This is a great way to
learn Restlet inside out and to contribute back.

Best regards,
Jerome

Newbie question: Override Resource.post() or Resource.handlePost() ?

When creating a subclass of Resource, is it preferable to override
post() or handlePost() (ditto for put/handlePut - etc)?  What is the
difference?

(Note: I'm using restlet v 1.0.8)

Thanks,

Ian.

integrating restlet with the spring DispatcherServlet

Hi!

This is my first project where I use restlet.

I have trouble to figure out how to integrate it with the
org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet. I use that for some 
SOAP web services (using the xfire exporter), but now I want to attach a 
restlet using json.
I was not able to find a example on how to do that! 

I want to use the DispatcherServlet, so the SpringServer is not an 
option. Using the ext.servlet.ServerServlet won't work as well, since 
that would bypass the DispatcherServlet too (and I can't get to the
WebApplicationContext from there).

Is it possible to do what I want? Thanks for any help!

Regards,
Michael

another question: adding attributes to a context

I want to pass two objects, cf and rs, in to several resources.  Here
is a code snippet that doesn't work:

--snip--
	apiListenerComponent = new Component();
		
	apiListenerComponent.getServers().add(Protocol.HTTP, listenPort);

	apiListenerComponent.getContext().getAttributes().put("cf", cf);
	apiListenerComponent.getContext().getAttributes().put("rs", rs);

	// Attach the sample application.
	apiListenerComponent.getDefaultHost().attach(
			new Application(apiListenerComponent.getContext()) {

				 <at> Override
				public Restlet createRoot() {
					// Create a root router
					Router router = new Router(getContext());
					router.attach("/users/{id}", UserResource.class);
--snip--

However, I find that if I add the attributes directly to the "router"
object when I create it inside createRoot(), that works fine.

Why isn't the router inheriting the attributes from the Component?

Thanks,

Ian.

Since 1.1-M2, there's RestletFrameworkServlet in the  
com.noelios.restlet.ext.spring extension:

http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.1/ext/com/noelios/restlet/ext/spring/RestletFrameworkServlet.html

As it's name indicates, it extends spring's FrameworkServlet, just  
like DispatcherServlet.  It gives access to the WebApplicationContext  
in the same way.

Re: integrating restlet with the spring DispatcherServlet

Thanks for your help!
Looks like thats exactly what I needed!
I still have an error that I can't solve, when I try to call the URL, 
it says:

01.04.2008 18:56:33 org.restlet.Filter doHandle
WARNUNG: A filter was executed without a next Restlet attached to it.

Can you see where the error is?

My web.xml:

<servlet>
<servlet-name>restlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.noelios.restlet.ext.spring.RestletFrameworkServlet
</servlet-class>
	<init-param>
		<param-name>targetRestletBeanName</param-name>
		<param-value>root</param-value>
	</init-param>
	<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>

<servlet-mapping>
	<servlet-name>restlet</servlet-name>
