Hi Rhett, Thanks for providing this nice alternative. Spring integration has been a major pain for Restlet users in the past. I'm happy to see that 1.1 will bring concrete progress to them.
Would you be able to get a signed JCA back to us? Once done I'll happily add your classes and unit tests to the SVN trunk. http://www.restlet.org/community/contribute Best regards, Jerome > -----Message d'origine----- > De : Rhett Sutphin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Envoyé : vendredi 25 janvier 2008 18:13 > À : [email protected] > Objet : Re: Spring ServerServlet? > > Hi, > > I'm a bit late to this party, but I've been playing around with > another way of integrating Restlets into an existing > Spring-based web > application.
