re OSGi,
I found that I had to battle with the infancy of running in an OSGi
environment far more than being productive. I'd consider waiting until
things stabilise a bit more. Mileage varies of course. If you do
consider that route, S2AP (might have rebranded) from the spring folks
helped a little, but added complexities and other issues. At this moment
in time, it is not something I could consider using. It would be
interesting to hear others thoughts and opinions.

It depends on what you are trying to build with Restlet.
If you need something that a JEE container provides (e.g. lifecycle
services, deploy/undeploy applications, integration with existing
Servlet code), or are required to run in an existing JEE container for
business reasons, then you should use the ServerServlet approach.
If you don't need any of the JEE container features and aren't using
any Servlet API, it is good to have the ability to run Restlet in
standalone mode (start Component from "main") with your choice of
connector. This is excellent for lightweight embedded systems, and
also for any "legacy-free" new application which is designed totally
around Restlet and doesn't need any JEE baggage.
There is also at least one other really interesting option, which is
to run Restlet as an OSGi service within an OSGi framework. This
shares some properties/advantages of both the JEE and Standalone
approach, and introduces other neat possibilities. Some of us (at
least Hendy and I that I know of) have played with Restlet on OSGi a lot.

Hi,
i am new to restlet, started exploring. i found we can
access an
application mapped to ServerServlet in a web application, as well
we can
create a application where we use restlet client to create a
client and use
main to start application.
in the first approach we are using the web server, where as the second
approach we use restlet webcontainer for our application launch.. am i
right?
if not clarify me, as tell me which way is suggested and best
Thanks in advance
