I've just finished integrating eXist (an XML database) with the Restlet API. Now you can use the Client API to access an embedded eXist database via GET/POST/etc.
The code is located at: https://exist.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/exist/trunk/restlet and to build it you need: https://exist.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/exist/trunk/eXist-1.0 https://exist.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/exist/trunk/embedded https://exist.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/exist/trunk/restlet Then do: cd eXist-1.0; ant; cd .. cd embedded; ant import-exist; ant jar; cd .. cd restlet; ant jar You can then run the example via: java -jar dist/exist-restlet.jar localhost localhost 8080 conf.xml The neat bit here is that you can now write: Client client = new Client(Protocol.valueOf("exist")); client.get("exist:///foo.xml").getEntity().write(System.out); to get a document out of eXist or post a query via: Client client = new Client(Protocol.valueOf("exist")); Response r = client.post(new Reference("exist:///foo.xml"), new StringRepresentation( "<target>{/document/section}</target>", MediaType.valueOf("application/xquery")) ); --Alex Milowski
