Hello Robert and Rob,
I assume this is not pretty clear...
The response is located in the javadoc of the ServerServlet class [1].
By default, this servlet creates a very simple component with no
connectors and attaches your application to it. But just because the
Directory requires the FILE client connector, the component must be
customized. it's quite simple, once you know what to do.
1- create your component class (for example
"com.firstStepsServlet.FirstStepsComponent") declaring all the needed
connectors.
package com.firstStepsServlet;
import org.restlet.Component;
import org.restlet.data.Protocol;
public class FirstStepsComponent extends Component {
public FirstStepsComponent() {
super();
this.getClients().add(Protocol.FILE);
}
}
2- update the servlet context with the path to your customized component.
<context-param>
<param-name>org.restlet.component</param-name>
<param-value>com.firstStepsServlet.FirstStepsComponent</param-value>
</context-param>
3- restart, it should work.
Well, I think the page must be updated, thanks a lot for reporting this!
best regards,
Thierry Boileau
