Hello António,
here answers to some of your questions. The others may comment more.
What's the relation between Restlets and JSR-311? Are the Restlet team
committed to conform to it?
I'm just implementing the JSR-311 specification for my master thesis.
You can take a look in the trunk of the subversion repository (URL:
http://restlet.tigris.org/svn/restlet, see also
http://wiki.restlet.org/docs_1.1/g1/13-restlet/50-restlet/47-restlet.html).
You will find the JSR-311 implementation in the project
org.restlet.ext.jaxrs_1.0. There are some JUnit tests available in the
project org.restlet.test, in the package org.restlet.test.jaxrs and it's
sub packages. There you can see a what the current state of development is.
Feel free to ask questions about it.
Jerome Louvel (the founder of the Restlet API) is a member of the JSR311
expert group.
After that, same thing to some other kind of connectors, like FTP and
maybe others.
There are some Restlet connectors. I don't know that there is a FTP
connector, but *I think* it is not very complicated to implement one.
I'm sure you will get support from the community, if you need to
implement such connector.
Is there some special way to manage queues? logging? monitoring?
Restlet uses the default java.util.logging mechansim.

Stephan Koops
