Hi all,
I'm happy to announce a new initiative aiming to implement the JSR-311
specification (JAX-RS API) on top of the Restlet API.
This project was proposed and will be led by Stephan Koops in the context of
his Master thesis that is now officially registered. His thesis ends in July
2007 and according to the plans there is a very good chance to have this
feature for Restlet 1.1!
Stephan has quickly embraced the challenge and started to actively develop
the new extension ("org.restlet.ext.jaxrs"), adding many unit tests, asking
questions and providing feed-back to the expert group (which I am part of).
You can check out the current code from the SVN trunk.
Good luck Stephan, I'm sure the community will actively support you in this
effort. For more details on what is JSR-311 you can check the references
below.
Best regards,
Jerome
