Hi, If you only have to expose a single Web service using the Restlet API, then I would recommend using the standalone mode, meaning using a Restlet HTTP server connector has indicated here: http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.0/connectors
The advantage is that it is more lightweight and as performing as a Servlet container. You can always deploy your Restlet Application in a Servlet container later on if really needed.
