Jonathan, Thanks for insisting! There is a solution but it isn't fully available yet :) It is based of the concept of WAR scheme that let you address resources inside the WAR directory using URIs like "war:///path1/path2/file" (very similar to file URIs).
We already have a client connector for the WAR scheme in the Servlet extension (see the com.noelios.restlet.ext.servlet.ServletWarClient class) and one for standalone applications (see the com.noelios.restlet.local.WarClientHelper class). When we complete the support for WARs in version 1.1 (see http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=76) we will be able to resolve these WAR URIs directly from the Restlet context's dispatcher, thus letting you define portable code like: SpringContext springContext = new SpringContext(getContext()); springContext.getXmlConfigRefs().add("war:///path/spring/config.xml"); For now, you can easily get the ServletContext by casting the Restlet context to the com.noelios.restlet.ext.servlet.ServletContextAdapter class. Then you can call the getServletContext() method.
