It's quite horrible, but you can do casts like this: HttpServletRequest awful = ((ServletCall)((HttpRequest) request).getHttpCall()).getRequest();
This will, of course, break your application unless it is running in a very specific Restlet configuration, and is probably inviting forward incompatibilities. If you are dealing with an existing Java API that simply expects an HttpServletRequest as an argument, I would prefer to construct a new HttpServletRequest from scratch and populate it with the needed data acquired via Restlet API calls. On the other hand, if the authentication API really won't work at all except in a Servlet container (it has other Servlet environment dependencies) then you might as well do the casts. - Rob On Tue, Jun 3, 2008 at 3:37 PM, Jennifer J.
