Note that in Restlet 1.1, any representation can expose its content directly via a character Reader or a Writer. But what do I do about IOExceptions?

See previous emails. The ConverterService API doesn't seem that useable. Agreed, try to move your logic into your Resource subclasses. Thanks, Jerome
