I'm using the 2.0M3 version of Restlet with JDK 1.6 in a Fedora Core 8 environment. My View Layer uses the included FreeMarker.
I'd like to be able to paginate my search results in my Restlet Web Application as the user can easily return hundreds of results. I've searched around and came across the Value List Holder Design Pattern, but I'm not sure it meets my needs. The fundamental problem I see is caching the entire result set somewhere. The alternative is to hit the database each time, which in my case is plausible since Hibernate has built-in pagination, but then I'm relying on my Persistence Layer to do pagination. Has anyone successfully done RESTful pagination in Restlet, or Java in general? I know Ruby on Rails has a way of caching it, but I don't know if it's the same as, say, a Session would do it in J2EE.
