I don't know that there's anything that could/should be added to the API or NRE, but I could envision an application of Restlet that maps resources onto Groovy scripts in the file system per some well-known conventions. I'm thinking of something like a DRY framework sitting on top of Restlet. Interestingly, Restlet is so well-designed, it probably wouldn't be more complex than a series of Finders.
One can already achieve a similar effect by providing compiled Groovy resource implementations and wiring them up programmatically in the application. The hypothetical Finder would outline the mapping conventions so as to eliminate the need for the glue code. Adding a new resource is as simple as plopping a new script in the file system? I suppose it wouldn't have to be limited to just Groovy either, but could support other dynamic languages as well. On 6/25/07, Jerome Louvel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Fred, Beside the usage of Groovy DSL to configure a Restlet application (in addition to the XML configuration support planned for Restlet 1.1), I don't see (yet) what else would make Restlet usage with Groovy more convenient. Do you have any specific use case in mind?
