Hi Thierry,

There is no hurry as we currently have a working backport.
Sometime in the next few weeks I would like to be able to download from the
restlet site
as it will make upgrading the restlet libraries smoother.

Regards
Donald.

Hello Donald

That 's a good remark indeed. At this time, the build script is only
available from the svn repository.
Are you in a hurry or can you wait tomorrow?

Best regards,
Thierry Boileau

      Hi Thierry,

      Thank you for this.
      I have done something similar locally on Restlet 1.1.0 and included a
      backport of the Simple and Jetty as a proof of concept.

      We are currently deploying Restlet in a Servlet on WebSphere 6.0.
      (hence
      the need for JRE 1.4.2).
      This is working for us although obviously we would prefer to use an
      "official" backport rather than
      the one we are using.

      I am currently having problems configuring (an old version of) SVN to
      use a
      proxy and consequently cannot download the
      Restlet source via SVN from work.

      Is there a way I can download the entire source as a zip bundle
      including
      ant script etc?

      If there is not I can download it at home and bring it into work but
      I
      thought I would ask anyway.

      Regards
      Donald.

      Hello Donald,

      the backport (via the build script) of the Restlet framework has been
      updated in the sense that the API and the implementation of reference
      (ie
      the jar com.noelios.restlet.jar) seems fully backported (with
      retrotranslator).
      The backport of some extensions still fails however. You can have a
      look at
      this RFC => http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=648

      Best regards,
      Thierry Boileau

            Hello Donald,


            The build script available in the Restlet distributions allows
      a
            backport with Retrotranslator which has been preferred (one
      year ago)
            for its more complete support of JDK1.5 classes.
            You can have a look at the build.properties file and set the
            following properties :
             -  backport: true
             -  jdk1.4-home: <the root path of the jdk1.4>

            I've just I've updated retrotranslator and tried the backport,
      and I
            notice that some classes are not converted, because they are
      not part
            of JDK1.4. In case we are not able to find the missing
      libraries, it
            means that some features won't be available.
            I've entered an RFC for this issue:
            http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=648

            Best regards,
            Thierry Boileau

                  Hi all,

                  Restlet requires JDK 1.5.
                  We are limited to running on jre 1.4.
                  I am downgrading the libraries using RetroTransformer.

                  Has anyone tried this? Does it work? What should I watch
      out
                  for?

                  Regards
                  Donald.
