Hi Stephan, Glad to have you back in the list!
Now that I read my reply again I see the big typo: I actually meant that JAX-RS 1.0 is only and explicitly a *server-side* API for now. That's why I went ahead an proposed a RFE to support a client-side version, like RESTeasy proposed. I think Jersey also has something on the client-side, but not really reusing the same annotations... Anyway, that's definitely an interesting area to explore. I hope that Restlet 1.2 could be a good target for that.

Hi Jerome, hi Sanjay, I was on holiday and have a lot of things to do, so I've had no time for the mailing list, sorry. But now again. Jerome, I don'tlike it :-), but I have to diagree: JAX-RS 1.0 is not a client API. It is possible to use it's annotations for a client side framework, but there are some question to answer before we have a client framework for it. I think this is room for another thesis ... First I want to finish the server side, and than I can think about realizing a client side framework. best regards Stephan --- Original-Nachricht --- From: Jerome Louvel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:47:22 +0200 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Subject: Client Support with JAXRS? Hi Sanjay, You are correct, JAX-RS is a client-side API. That said there have been some attempts to support a client-side mode as you pointed out. I guess we could investigate doing something similar in our own extension. I've entered a RFE for this that Stephan Koops (the extension lead) could consider for Restlet 1.2 maybe: "Add JAX-RS client-side support" http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=553 Note that we have a similar plan at the org.restlet.resource.Resource level as well: "Support client-side Resources" http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=302 Best regards, Jérôme Louvel -- Restlet ~ Founder and Lead developer ~ http://www.restlet.org Noelios Technologies ~ Co-founder ~ http://www.noelios.com -----Message d'origine----- De : Sanjay Acharya [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Envoyé : vendredi 8 août 2008 21:52 À : [email protected] Objet : Client Support with JAXRS? I might be totally of the mark here, that said, it is my understanding that JSR 311 specs do not account for Client side specifications. The JBoss RestEasy project however supports a client side API to re-use the JAXRS Annotations to easily implement a client Web Service client. Does Restlet have any equivalent support with JAXRS Specifics? Thanks much. Sanjay
