Continuations are actually really simple in, "almost". I merely used my ServerServlet subclass to override the ServiceServlet.service method. I then did the Continuation work around the base call and stuck the contination in the request properties. This works great so far, but then the trouble. Continuations work by throwing a jetty.RetryRequest exception. Jetty catches this explicitly then will retry that exact request later. When this happens I am getting tripped up by the try/catch in StatusFilter.doHandle. It is catching any Throwable. I spent the afternoon digging to see if can extend classes to provide my own StatusFilter but ran into the fact that the Factory.getInstance.createHelper is used inside of org.restlet.Server to set the ApplicationHelper, which creates the StatusFilter. I am already using a custom StatusService to handle errors, it woul d be nice if the StatusService could provide the StatusFilter implementation as well. Or simply provide a way to override the ApplicationHelper class. Currently there does not seem to be a way w/o re-compiling the noelius implementation. It would be great if I could provide my own implementation ApplicationHelper, ServerHelper, and Server. I started down the path of overriding ServerServlet.createServer and subclassing HttpServerHelper. I copied the super implementation of createServer, but ran into the fact that inside the Server constructor the ApplicationHelper was being set. Seems like the simplest solution would be to make the helper field in the org.restlet.Server class protected so I could set it w/ my ApplicationHelper subclass and thus use my subclassed StatusFilter class. Maybe a better solution would be to use the StatusService off of the Application for getting StatusFilters. I could be barking up the wrong tree, but one of these approaches seems good. As being able to set a Factory instance w/o changing the resource file. Thanks. -Brandon
