Hi Justin,
If I understand you, you want to return html,text and an object for a
resource?
Simplest form
public class MyResource extends Resource {
public MyResource(Context context, Request request, Response response) {
super(context, request, response);
getVariants().add(new Variant(MediaType.APPLICATION_JAVA_OBJECT));
getVariants().add(new Variant(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN));
getVariants().add(new Variant(MediaType.TEXT_HTML));
}
@Override
public Representation getRepresentation(Variant variant) {
Representation rep = null;
if (MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN.equals(variant.getMediaType())) {
rep = StringRep...
}
else if (MediaType.TEXT_HTML.equals(variant.getMediaType())) {
rep = Freemarker...
}
else if
(MediaType.APPLICATION_JAVA_OBJECT.equals(variant.getMediaType())) {
rep = ObjectRepresenation( YOUR_SERIALIZED_OBJECT );
}
return rep;
}
}
Your client sending:
Accept: application/x-java-serialized-object
works fine on 1.1 snapshot, sorry I dont have a test setup for 1.0.8.

Hi all,
This could be a REST understanding problem in general. I'm using JDK
1.5.10 with Restlet 1.0.8.
I have a resource that accepts GET requests for a User. The HTML
representation will return a FreeMarker page, and the Text version
will just return a String representation of the User. Simple and lovely.
I also want to be able to ask for the User object too, and I think
that the ObjectRepresentation class is used for that. How do I
specify that from the Resource though? I thought of narrowing down
the ClientInfo's accepted MediaTypes to just
'x-java-serialized-object' and checking for that in the
getRepresentation() method of the Resource, but it won't accept
requests with just that MediaType to choose from.
Any ideas of how to just return the Object? It seems like just
another representation, but I don't think I should have to create
another Resource as it's essentially doing the same thing as the HTML
and Textual representations are doing.
Thanks,
Dustin
