Hello Endrio, as said Jérôme, the client and server connectors interpretes the HTTP packets in order to build high level objects => Request [1] and Response [2].
From the point of view of a Restlet-based client, the Response object contains a representation of the requested resource (assuming the client has sent a GET request). If you want to parse this XML representation, you can use either the DomRepresentation [3], or the SaxRepresentation [4] as follow: SaxRepresentation saxRep = new SaxRepresentation(response.getEntity()); Then, you can use the "parse(ContentHandler)" method, which gives you access to the content of the XML representation. In the case you want to send a POST request with a representation, just prepare it (You can use SaxRepresentation, DomRepresentation, FileRepresentation, StringRepresentation, etc). Then add to the request, and let the client handle it. From the point of view of a Restlet-based server, the Request object contains the POSTed representation, that you can parse with SaxRepresentation, or with DomRepresentation, etc. You can have a look at the firstSteps, firstResource and the tutorial for more details => http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.1/ best regards, Thierry Boileau [1] http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.1/api/org/restlet/data/Request.html [2] http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.1/api/org/restlet/data/Response.html [3] http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.1/api/org/restlet/resource/DomRepresentation.html [4] http://www.restlet.org/documentation/1.1/api/org/restlet/resource/SaxRepresentation.html > Endrio, > > What a creative email title!
