Ok, well there's my answer. You have to supply a converter service.
Otherwise the default is setup to return null.

Thank you for the code. Looking over everything I did find that I am
getting an entity from the server. I did a
response.isEntityAvailable() and it says there is something. But I
noticed you use response.getEntity().write() and I'm using
response.getEntityAsObject(). When I use your method I get the object,
but not unserialized form. If I use response.getEntityAsObject() I get
null. Why would response.getEntityAsObject() not working?

Hello Justin,
this error is a side effect of the Simple connector, and has no
impact on the running code.
With the sample code attached to this mail (this is an eclipse
project), I succeed in getting the returned objectRepresentation.
best regards,

Hard to say without knowing what you are doing :)
So true, but let me re-ask that in a better way. Does using objects
in Restlet make sense? As in is there another method that preforms
better, is standard, or better supported that I should be using. The
application is just a client/server system, and I'm writing both
ends so I can use what ever works best.:)
Using ObjectRepresentation for a String is strange if that is your
usecase as it is meant for a serializable Java object.
If you are just wanting to pass plain text then you should use the
following:
if (variant.getMediaType().equals(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN)) {
result = new StringRepresentation("Testing....");
}
The method you sent works, but now I get a different error. And of
course the client gets a big fat null object. I'm using Simple with
Apache Http Client.
