I'm still having trouble with this myself. Trying to serve both JSON and XML representations of a resource that is called "world".
Here is what happens for 4 different test cases: http://localhost:8080/world.xml Fails! I get this response: The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request http://localhost:8080/world.xml/ works! I get an xml representation of the resource. I didn't mean to try this (I added the '/' by mistake) and then was surprised when this worked. I tried removing the '/' and it still fails. http://localhost:8080/world.json works as intended http://localhost:8080/world.json/ gives me the xml representation So I get that the '/' shouldn't be there at all (as I said, I put it there by accident) but it would be nice if it behaved the same as the case with the slash - is this easy to do? More importantly, any idea why '.json' works but '.xml' doesn't? I've tried adding both 'MediaType.APPLICATION_XML' and 'MediaType.APPLICATION_ALL_XML' (though not at the same time) and still have no luck. Any ideas? Thanks, T P.S. Here is some code: protected void doInit() throws ResourceException { Map<Method, Object> variants = getVariants(); List<Variant> getVariants = new ArrayList<Variant>(); getVariants.add(new Variant(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)); getVariants.add(new Variant(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)); variants.put(Method.GET, getVariants); setVariants(variants); } ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2361679
