Hi Piyush, By design, a Restlet doesn't have full access to its container. It may not even have a parent container in some cases.
Also, in case a single container manages multiple applications, it wouldn't be a good idea to allow Restlets in one application to shutdown the container. In case it makes sense for your Restlet to directly shutdown the container (administration service for example), you should simply pass the reference of your container to your ShutdownRestlet , at construction time. Otherwise, if you run your container using the Java Service Wrapper, you can leverage their built-in features to start/stop/restart any service. Let me know if you have a different requirement or if this response doesn't satisfy you.
