Hi Jerome,

You mentioned above "When an Application is started by the container"... This
doesn't happen by default currently as far as I've seen. I have to override the
start() method in the Container to get this behavior. Following is the sample
application you can use to test this.

import java.io.*;
import org.restlet.*;
import org.restlet.data.*;
 
    public class TestContainer {
        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
       {
            Container container = new Container();
            container.getServers().add(Protocol.HTTP, 8182);
            container.getClients().add(Protocol.FILE);
 
            // Create an application
            Application application = new Application(container)
            {
                public Restlet createRoot()
                {
                    Directory directory = new Directory(getContext(), 
"file:///");
                    directory.setNegotiateContent(true);
                    return directory;
                }
            };
 
            // Attach the application to the container and start it
            container.getDefaultHost().attach("", application);
            container.start();
            System.out.println(application.isStarted());
        }
    }

Thanks for getting this checked in though. I really appreciate you being very
open to suggestions.
