Hi Dave, Now that the API is mostly stabilized, we will be able to invest more time in the Javadocs and in user/developer documentation. Keeping the tutorial up-to-date during the beta cycle has already been a lot of work.
Also, a book on REST Web Services is being written and should be published in May 2007 (O'Reilly). That should also help people understanding how to use Restlet: http://www.crummy.com/writing/REST-Web-Services/ Best regards, Jerome > -----Message d'origine----- > De : Dave Pawson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Envoyé : jeudi 9 novembre 2006 19:48 > À : [email protected] > Objet : Re: POST? > > On 09/11/06, Jerome Louvel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > In order to process a POSTed form, just do a > request.getEntityAsForm() in > > the "handlePost()" method of your Handler subclass.
