Hi Michael, In Restlet 1.1 (SVN trunk), we've added a cache mechanism so you can call getEntityAsForm() several times.
If you have to stay in 1.0 for now, here is a work around: request.setEntity(request.getEntityAsForm().getWebRepresentation()); That should allow you to call getEntityAsForm() again in next filters/restlets/resources.
