Thank you for the kind and speedy response, Rob.
I intend to spend the week, and then some, on this subject, and would
be happy to receive any guidance or code you can muster. In return, I
can post my newcomer questions and results.
I'm curious: how is it that the hosted mode Restlet GWT Extension is
heavily exercised, but the Restlet-GWT API is not? And what is the
difference again?

Hi Mark, I've been working on a longish example ("Chesstlet") that
pulls together a number of Restlet and GWT techniques, but this
won't be ready until November, due to some commitments I have in
early October that complicate my availability. In the meantime,
maybe the best thing to do would be to pull together a small
illustration based on the test case already in the Restlet source --
just beefing it up to do some useful things beyond hello, world. I
will try to get that together (or ask someone else at the office to
do so) in the next day or two.
The Restlet-GWT API is still largely unexercised (as opposed to the
Restlet GWT Extension, which is just the hosted mode wrapper for
ServerServlet, which is very heavily exercised) so we are
discovering all sorts of new issues as we try it out. So you should
probably be working from a Restlet snapshot to pick up all the
latest commits. I think the latest important thing was an infinite
recursion that Thierry removed. Now that GWT 1.5 is final and we
don't have to chase a moving target any more, it will be easier to
stabilize this.

Good day. I'm new here, but not new to Java and its supporting
technologies.
I'm embarking on teaching myself GWT using Restlets, neither of
which I have programmed before, although I have read the
documentation for each. I know that at the time the Restlet-GWT
code was released, a whopping 6 weeks ago :-), there were no
examples illustrating its use. Perhaps there are snippets of
examples the community can share now, some weeks after the release.
If you have such examples, I would be quite grateful to study them,
as would be, I'm sure, other newcomers to these subjects. I am
particularly interested in running the server side using the Restlet
NET connector.
All the pieces are in front of me; at this point a few well placed
examples would help bring it all together.
Thank you.
