Hi Laurent, In order to have this automatic conversion to XML or JSON happen, you need to add the "org.restlet.ext.xstream.jar" and *all* its dependencies in your classpath, including Jettison. The Restlet engine should detect it and leverage it to convert your Profile objects in both directions, from JSON or to JSON.

I have read this thread [http://markmail.org/thread/g7u4rmje64rhk6q5] and the resulting page in the wiki [http://wiki.restlet.org/docs_2.0/13-restlet/27-restlet/285-restlet.html] but I have still some problems to make it works. I have a resource to retrieve customer profile : public class ProfileResource extends ServerResource { @Get public Representation getJson() throws ResourceException { // get Profile object matching the request [...] Profile profile = new Profile(); JSONObject jsonProfile = new JSONObject(profile); getResponse().setStatus(Status.SUCCESS_OK); return new JsonRepresentation(jsonProfile); } } So from what I have read, I can declare my annotated method to return directly a Profile object, and not a Representation. Now if I try to get the profile, no converter can be found ( ATTENTION: Unable to find a converter for this object : [...] ) either with curl with header Accept set to json or xml, or using a browser, so I don't get any entity in response. My questions here are : How can I specify make my object to be automatically converted to xml or json ? change something in my object itself, or in my resource ? Or maybe I need my own /ConverterHelper/ ? If so, is there any documentation or guide line for this task (I have found nothing yet) ? Thanks for any help, Laurent. -- Laurent Rustuel, Alten contractor for Alcatel-Lucent, Brest ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=23909 50 ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2402812
