Hello mastricker, Inside your Resource, you can directly instantiate a FileRepresentation with the absolute path of the static file.
The directory Restlet is not intended to be used inside a Resource, it is a final handler of requests (such as a Resource), but for static files. You instantiate the Directory Restlet with the URI of the local directory: "file:////home/user/path", or use the LocalReference#createFileReference* methods.
