Hi JR, There is indeed a lack of documentation in this area. It's still very recent features. You can get automatic conversion for retrieved representations like this:
String myString = myClientResource.get(String.class); For sent representations: myClientResource.put(myString); There is even a more transparent way if you define an annotated Java interface (using the Restlet @Get, @Put, etc. annotations). Once it is defined, you can use it on the server side in your ServerResource subclasses or on the client side to consume it: MyAnnotatedInterface myClient = myClientResource.wrap(MyAnnotatedInterface.class); In this case, automatic conversion is handled for you. See the attached sample files for more guidance. We are looking for feed-back on those features, so don't hesitate.

Is there any documentation or examples out there for using the Restlet API to consume a REST service? The only example I found is on the "First Resource" page (http://www.restlet.org/documentation/2.0/firstResource#part07), and that's only a very basic example of it. More specifically, I'd like to know: How do you use the ConverterService to convert objects to/from XML/JSON/etc? What is the recommended practice for using Restlet to build a REST client? Is there a tool available for auto-generating Restlet client code? ClientResource.getResponseEntity() returns a Representation only on the first call to the method. Why, and what other "gotchas" are there when using ClientResource and consuming REST services? ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=23868 43 ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2386953
