Jérôme, As far as I understand, we can't reuse Restlet extensions made for org.restlet.* with org.restlet.gae.* classes, can we ? I have thought at a time that GAE would be a deployment option for our restlet applications. With the gae copy, we may not reuse an application as straitforward as I may have dreamed. I see Restlet extensible enough not to have to copy the full code base. Would that dream have been possible with 1.1 with the API and Engine separation ?
Why should not we support this scenario ;) ?
