Hi Vincent, My understanding from WADL is that query parameters always have a value, probably due to the way HTML forms are encoded. For boolean parameters you could use 'true/false'. See WADL section 2.8.1.
For matrix parameters, the presence of the parameter gives it a 'true' value. See section 2.5.1. Restlet doesn't enforce those rules but I suggest that you follow them unless you have a good reason not to do so.

The generated code seems work like that (for a boolean parameter): - if the param is true, the name is added (to the matrix or query string) (with no values); - if it is false, nothing is added. I wonder what the expected behavior for a server? Is there some spec or convention about "how to handle a boolean value from a query string/matrix?" For now, i do that, but i'm not sure if it's the right way: - if the query string does not contain my param, i set my internal representation to false; - if the query string contains my param, i set my reprensentation to true. Should i parse the value too? Any comments (and pointers) are welcome (and appreciate ;-) Cheers -- Vincent Ricard
